Stop Chasing—Start Becoming
I want to flip your mindset on something that a lot of athletes get wrong. And it’s this:
"The best things in life—trust, talent, luck—have one thing in common: the harder you chase them, the faster they run."
That quote says it all. And if you’ve ever chased after confidence, forced trust, or tried to “grind” your way into being lucky, you know what I’m talking about.
At MLM, we teach something very different: stop chasing and start becoming.
Why Chasing Doesn’t Work
Let’s break it down. When you chase confidence, you put yourself in a mental trap. You start looking for outside validation. You start gripping the bat a little tighter, overthinking, pressing.
Same with trust. If you try to force it, you don’t get it. It has to be earned—over time—through preparation, experience, and repetition. That’s why we train confidence and trust indirectly in MLM. We build them by focusing on what you can control.
And luck? Let’s be real. You can’t chase it. But you can position yourself for it. You can be ready when it shows up.
Chasing Outcomes vs. Mastering the Process
When we say “Don’t chase,” what we’re really saying is: commit to the process. The best athletes don’t obsess over results. They obsess over what they can control—their breath, their body language, their focus, their routines. That’s the foundation of a Major League Mindset.
We use tools like:
Flush It routines to reset quickly
Concentration grids to build elite focus
Big League Breath to calm the system
Visualization to see and feel future success without clinging to it
When you show up like that—calm, grounded, present—you stop chasing… and you start attracting.
ARETÉ: Expressing Your Best Without Force
At MLM, we live by the word ARETÉ—the relentless pursuit of your highest self. But here’s the thing: ARETÉ doesn’t come from pushing or forcing. It comes from alignment. It comes from stacking daily wins, keeping promises to yourself, and showing up with intention—not desperation.
The more you force it, the more you feel disconnected. But the more you focus on who you’re becoming, the more natural everything feels.
This Is Why We Built the MLM+ App
We built the MLM+ App to help athletes stop chasing and start becoming. Inside the app, we provide:
- The MLM Habit Tracker to keep you consistent
- Visualization sessions to wire in belief and presence
- A community that supports you when the process feels slow
- Because that’s what’s often missing—the reminder that the process is the reward.
Final Thoughts: Let Go to Level Up
If you’re chasing confidence, take a breath. If you’re forcing trust, zoom out. If you’re hunting luck, get grounded in the work.
Remember: The best things in life run from the people who chase them— but they’re drawn to the ones who are prepared, present, and living with purpose.
That’s what we train inside Major League Mindset. That’s what the MLM+ app helps you build every day. And that’s what will separate you from everyone else when the pressure’s on.
