Trying new things will allow you to determine what doesn’t work and what does work. A great example of this is Jaiden Byse, a 9th grader (c/o 2026) at Benjamin E. Mays High School in Atlanta.
This is the same high school that graduated notable alumni such as Symmion Willis, Zachery “Pooh” Hines, Xavion Curry and Termarr Johnson.
Jaiden has only been playing baseball for a little over a year and he has been selected to play in the 2022 MBP Underclass All-American Game in Gastonia, North Carolina.
He is extremely athletic. Any person who participates in a sport is an athlete. But athletes who have an ability to critically think at a high level and physically execute in situations they have never been in are athletic.
Jaiden is a kinesthetic learner, very cerebral, and possesses a high level of aptitude and work ethic. The 2022 MBP Underclass All-American Game is going to be a good test of his talent but he will not be overmatched.
He is a dream come true for a coach like me who has been discovering diamonds in the rough and polishing them like me for over 20 years.
Talent is what you do well. Habits are what you do well without thought. Skills are what you do well without thought while under stress.
