Success in professional sports is often measured in awards and statistics. But the true heart of the game lives in the perspective of those who play it. It is found in the wisdom of a veteran athlete looking back on a long career, and the pure joy of a hometown hero finally competing in front of their own community.
To sustain a career at the highest level, you need more than just physical skill. You need a mindset that protects the joy of the game. A mindset that ensures when you look back on your time on the field, you see a journey you cherished rather than one you simply endured.
There is meaning in representing the Bay Area — a belief that “good things take time” and that finally stepping onto the PayPal Park pitch with loved ones in the stands is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.
