We have had quite a few great athletes come through Pair & Marotta Peak Performance over the past few years. And one thing that never fails is the outcome of the hard workers. Those that are the most consistent see the greatest results. The ones that are the first ones in, last ones out and always trying to get better will out perform those with raw talent.
But the really interesting thing is that the ones who are the most consistent, are the hard workers! Those who have a great work ethic won't be floating in and out, here for 3 weeks then out for 3 months.

And its tough to tell the talented ones that talent will only take you so far. It almost seems like talent can be a liability because it makes them think that their talent will steadily increase and their performance will improve because of it. But the less talented ones will always be the underdog that we at P&M love. These are the ones who we know that no matter where they go in life, they'll succeed because they won't give up.
Yes, some kids have greater potential because of their genetics, but natural talent has a ceiling - hard work doesn't. Natural talent will take you far, but hard work will take you further.
Another P&M athlete, James Barragan made the paper this past week as he had a stellar pitching performance against Liberty. James pitched a 3-hit complete game shutout the other night and gave Stockdale its first league win of the year.
Great job James!
