The California Department of Public Health has released new guidelines for competitive play in the state. No games can start earlier than January 25th, and the ...following chart represents which sports can played under California's tier system. According to CDPH, "Competitions are not permitted as they increase the probability of transmission due to mixing of households, traveling, and unavoidable physical contact. Competitions between different teams have been associated with multiple outbreaks in California and across the country. This date will be reassessed by January 4, 2021, based on California disease transmission trends and is subject to change at any time given the level of COVID-19 and ICU capacity in California."

I say it all the time, I don't care how good you are! If you don't have the 6th tool and you're not a competitor, it doesn't matter! You can possess the five other tools, if you're not a competitor you are going to flounder and underperform.

People always talk about the 5 tools in baseball and about how esensual they are in becoming a MLB player. The number one tool for me surprisingly is not one of the five tools! Are you a competitor! I could tell you right now just by watching this video this kid is a competitor! He will do anything to beat you. And he's not going to lay down when things are getting tough. The best tool that you can have is to be a competitor! One ball, no Tee....... so what!
