Most baseball players, when asked what the best compliment another player could give
them is, "That I was a good team mate." This speaks volumes for what baseball stands for. For
most people, when asked what they think baseball is all about, would say that it is about team
work. With team work comes leadership; a strong team needs a strong leader. In professional
teams, leaders come in many shapes and forms. Each individual player can be a leader in their
own regard, on top of the coach, the batting coach, the pitching coach, and so on. This is why
some feel that baseball is such a important sport in youth development. Baseball is a game which
teaches you important life skills with an emphasis on teamwork and
leadership.(www.forbes.com) …show more content…
When someone has a baseball thrown at them at ninety to one-hundred miles per hour
in various ways, they have to learn to expect everything. One pitch a batter could be thrown a
speeding fastball, but the next they could be thrown a ninety miles per hour curveball. The best
players can hit a fastball out of the park, but are also prepared for the unexpected, with the
unexpected being curveballs, change ups, cutters, splitters, forkballs, sliders, slurves, screwballs,
changeups, and palmballs. When a player is up to bat, they are simultaneously expecting each
and every type of pitch, and are trying to ready themselves to hit each one of them. On the flip
side, in order to succeed outside of baseball, one also have to be ready for everything and
anything. Not all things goes as planned, and as a result one should be ready for whatever comes
at them. To quote Heraclitus, "Everything changes and nothing stands still..." This quote stays
true in the context of baseball.(entertainment.howstuffworks.com)

In baseball, one has to learn to wait for their pitch. If one was to swing too early or too
late, they could ruin everything. The best hitters learn to hit the ball at just the right moment
every time to avoid bad hits. If one is too impatient or slow, one can make mistakes. This
translates well into real life, where important decisions could have a moment where it would be
perfectly decided a second later. If one knows when to hit their ball, they will make that decision
at the right moment, but if they are too early or too late, they may have unintentional side effects
because of that. For instance, if they were to buy stocks in a startup, as an example; Facebook. If
they bought their share when it first went public, they started good, but if they were to sell it just
before they knew that it would sell for one hundred times more than they were going to sell it
for, they would be upset. If they knew to wait for the right moment, they would have made
