- Wise words we all should take to heart from Mariners great Edgar Martinez
When we struggle in sports, the present thought or image can be negative because of a recent failure, I would replace my recent thought or image to a positive one, I only have control of my thoughts or images. I always wanted positive thoughts or images when I compete. https://t.co/4WKCzLRkI3
