This Video is aboiut lesson from Hall of Fame Pitchers Tom Glavine & John Smoltz and thier Mindset about "Failures" as a Pitcher.

Their attitude is one of the most Healthy Way of looking at Failure that I have ever seen. This Mindset is very applicable in life and in your Job Search!

Hall of Fame Pitcher John Smoltz said recently that he had a goal of giving over 250 Hr in his career. He said that if he was able to give up 250 HR as a pitcher, then he was good enough to stay in the big leagues for about 20 years.  

John Smoltz gave up a total of 305 Home Runs in his 20 year career.

Tom Glavine gave up a total of 377 Home Runs in his 22 year career. 

They understood that "Failure" as a pitcher is inevitable.  If you throw enough pitches, somone hit going to hit it out of the park!

Failure is going to happen when you are in the game.  

As a batter, Freddy Freeman has one of the best batting averages in the MLB with a .328 average. So, the best batter in the MLB fails about 70% or the time.  Why? Becuase it is really hard to get a hit in baseball.  But he is in the Game!

As a job seeker, there will be days when you may not get a response you want to a phone call ot not get a offer letter after an interview. Thst will happen when you are in the Game!  You will not get an offer Every Time you go for an Interview. 

But if you keep at it, you will eventually get hired for the job!
