Some believe the path to achieving our dreams all lies in the power of belief. I had a basketball coach growing up named Mr. Franke. He coached the high school girls team for over forty years - he even coached my mother. He preached this method often. Visualize the ball in the hoop three times before shooting a free throw he would say. And by golly, it would work!
It was helped by the fact that I am an excellent shooter, but still.
The power of the mind’s eye. Belief can be an incredible thing. Confidence is sometimes all a person needs.
Yesterday Dexter Fowler tweeted he would get a hit and because of that tweet, I knew he would get a hit. I even staked my esteemed journalistic reputation on it in a post on this very blog. Did he get a hit?
You bet your sweet bippy he did!
With this success, more people are now attempting Dexter Fowler’s hitting trick.
My turn: I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. https://t.co/tKVzv9SSM5

I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit. I will get a hit.

We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. We will be back. Thanks for the idea @DexterFowler https://t.co/yh908FSwKH
