Professional Baseball Player
I was always a Yogi Berra fan.
"It ain't over till it's over".
That is probably his most famous "Yogiism".
========================
Aspiring young athletes should study this "Yogiism ".
What if your team is ahead with one out in the last of the ninth?
What if your team is behind with one out in the last of the ninth?
What if its a tie?
========================
In every case, in every sport, in life; regardless of the score board,
buckle down and strive to finish the game on top.
Remember. "It ain't over till it's over".
Your best effort is required no matter what!
========================
"It ain't over till it's over" applies, not to baseball alone,
but also to life. Think about it. Remember it. Do it.
Give your best effort no matter what. Don't quit!
