We were inbetween my sophomore and junior years of High School Baseball.... Having just wrapped up the JV season of HS ball, most the kids were going to play for one of two competitive summer travel teams. I decided I still wanted to play for the youth league because my Best friend was on the team, with the coach i had played for most of my youth. I was at a game, in uniform over the summer when the Varsity and JV HS Baseball coaches walked by our field and saw me playing catch... the JV Coach lost it on me. He wasn't even my coach (at the time) and said i would never amount to anything because I wouldn't compete.
Looking back i understand how right he was, not pushing myself to be more competitive and/or strive for greater things. I was complacent with playing on a team that practiced once a week and I could dominate, and didn't realize how much i was limiting myself. Was embarrassing in the moment.
