Tommy Kramer Coaching Tip #513: The “Home Run or Nothing” Mentality

If you concentrate so much on the “big” things, but you don’t get really good at the little things, it’s not gonna work as well.

You need to be well-rounded.  It’s nice if you have “big” moments, but don’t have any “empty” moments.  Be right here, right now, even just doing the weather or promoting something.

It’s like baseball – it’s great to hit home runs, but strikeouts kill.  They’re wasted times at bat.  No fielders have to move; no runners advance.  You might as well have just gone up to the plate without a bat.

The “little things” MATTER.
