I can play...

Thanks to Pippa's Twitter last night, I was reminded that the World Series was on (shows you where my priorities are).

I flipped it on, late, just to check it out. It was 13-1, but right around then, Tim McCarver was talking about one of the players and he said,

"There are three stages in the development of a player. 'I wonder if I can play. I think I can play. I know I can play."

Felt apropos as I had just come from a meeting with my new team where I had the distinct feeling of "I know I can play," only I didn't know what it was until later that night.

Confidence, not arrogance or cockiness.

And to remember...I know I can play, but that doesn't mean I know everything about how to play or that I can't get better.
