It’s been a tough couple of months. Lots of questions and lots of feelings I’ve never felt before. Especially as a leader and an entrepreneur. Paused for the first time in many, many years, and asked myself “is this all worth it?” The constant work and movement and pushing and reaching and hustling and grinding and fighting and giving and losing and learning and going again. Is it worth it? It’s always a tough question. But even more so now, with Dad gone, Mom on her own, my son now here, and my body beat up from traveling 250+ nights a year for the last 15 years. Not to mention the difficulty level of this particularly crazy, cross-continent, cross-culture dream we have at Baseball United to transport the game we love to the opposite side of the world. It’s hard to explain the sacrifices and the emotions and the intensity to people who are not living it everyday. A few folks understand. Many do not. I can just say, it’s a lot. So, it’s a tough question with a tough answers. But what I do know is that we’ve made incredible progress. Our BU team - the folks working around the clock each and everyday - has created something that no one in history has created. This team has achieved milestone after milestone against all odds. We have helped a lot of people and made many individual dreams come true. We still are - admittedly - far from our biggest dream becoming a reality. We will need some more support, some more funding, and all of God’s blessings to build and sustain that big one. There will be storms along the way. There will be failures (already been a few). The situation will dictate and demand countless changes to the plan. That is the nature of this path. It’s a tough road, and success is not guaranteed. I’ve learned that dreams like this one are always painful before they become possible. But, with all that being true, we’ve got a shot. We are STILL in the race. We are still moving forward. And we’ve put ourselves in position to win. Now, all that’s left to do is leave it all on the field. Everything. Then, no matter what happens, we will be proud of our effort. And for me personally, I know my Dad is watching, and I know that he’s proud of all of us. On we go. ⛏️🙏❤️⚾️
