Babe Ruth’s legendary moment wasn’t just the home run — it was the fact that he boldly called his shot, and then he delivered.
That courage is what was legendary. Not the hit. Not the home run. The risk.
Calling your shot isn’t just about making a bold statement—it’s self-imposed pressure. It’s putting your reputation on the line before you even start. It’s proof that you believe in yourself.
But here’s the truth: You don’t have to call every shot.
Some guys hide in the back, too afraid to take their shot. Others talk big and can’t back it up. Both lose. Neither have the skill or the confidence to deliver, and the world sees that too.
The greats know when to grind in silence and when to step up and declare their intent. They don’t just talk big — they prove it.
So ask yourself: Are you holding back? Or are you calling shots you can’t hit?
Either way, fix it. Put in the work. Then, when the moment comes — point the bat, own the pressure, and swing for the fences.
