Mitch didn’t rely on hype. He relied on standards.
This conversation goes far beyond talent. It’s about choosing to be a professional long before anyone calls you one. It’s about discipline when nobody’s watching. It’s about intention layered into daily routines, mindset work, and personal accountability.
Inside this episode, Brian and Mitch break down:
- What to do when you feel overlooked or underestimated
- Why daily routines separate amateurs from pros
- The MVP Process — Mission, Vision, Process — and setting personal standards
- Using mental imagery and visualization to stay prepared
- Managing your mindset when moving from starter to bullpen
- The power of “breathe and release” to stay in control under pressure
This is a masterclass in resilience, intentional growth, discipline, and belief.
If you’re an athlete chasing the next level — or someone building something bigger than your current circumstances — this episode will challenge you to raise your standards and stack days like a pro.
