In COT, I shared about Scott Rolen’s baseball HOF speech yesterday. The story goes that Scott was about to play in a high school all-star basketball game and he thought he was completely outclassed by his teammates. He went to his Dad and listed all the ways his teammates were better than him. His Dad listened patiently and then said, “Scotty, you’ve told me everything you can’t do. So what can you do?” Scott thought for a moment and said, “Well, I can rebound, play defense, and out hustle everyone.” His Dad replied, “Well, go do that, then.”
Scott said his father urging him to focus on what he can do, not what he can’t, with the words “do that, then” was life-changing.
“‘Do that, then’ carried me into the minor leagues and gave me a simple mindset that I would never allow myself to be unprepared or outworked,” Rolen said. “‘Do that, then’ put me on this stage today.”
A good reminder for us all to not focus on what we can’t do, but to come out for your teammates and contribute what you can do.
