"The Grind" Ft. CJ Beatty (Baseball Motivation) 

I was cut from my High School Varsity team as a Junior. I put in the most work out of any player who made that team. I was in the weight room every single day after school getting stronger. I went to every meeting and baseball training session that year. For Christmas I asked my parents for private baseball lessons and a conditioning program run through my travel team. I talked to the coach almost everyday to build a strong relationship with him, and in the end he still looked me in the eyes and told me "sorry I can't take you". Guys I've been playing ball since I was ever able to pick up a bat and throw a ball. The best my coach could offer me was a manager position. As much as it hurt me to do it, I did because I knew it will help me out for this year. I figured out now truly what it means to say life isn't fair because I deserved a spot more than anyone there, yet I was still rejected. Imagine walking into school knowing that you're a failure to everyone who has ever known you. At the time that's how I thought, but now I realized that I am going to walk through the halls with my head up knowing that I WILL prove everyone of those assholes wrong including the coach who I busted my butt for to get nothing. In the words of Michael Irvin, "Look up, get up, and don't ever give up". Good luck to all of you grinding players out there.

I watch this every single day before practice and workouts to remind me where I'm going and keep me focused on my goals.

Mr. Beatty, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you get me motivated even in dark times. Thank you so much! #IGRINDFORMINE God Bless!

Right Now its 3:27 am and I watched this vid because I couldn't get sleep thinking about the training im doing tommorow and the rest of the summer for next year

I watch the videos every day

I will make it to the mlb 🙏🏼

this inspired me to get my grades up and work harder in baseball

Last year I didn't make my all star team, I was hitting almost .400 and the coach picking the kids said that I just didn't have the power. Keep in mind that I live in Arizona. I got so flustered that day I didn't even eat for the rest of the day. I got a membership to the batting cages and hit every week and it felt great. Once my membership expired I felt so hollow, everyday that baseball wasn't in my life I felt like I had no purpose. I spent many nights awake staring at my ceiling wondering what I was doing wrong. I've read some of these comments and I can understand the immense pain and the feeling of blood boiling under our skin when we don't succeed. After Christmas I started saving money for a hitting net. After I bought one I spent as much time as possible hitting. Dark, bright, freezing cold, blazing hot I did everything g I could to get better. This year I feel like all the sweat blood and tears have made a big change. I want to encourage all of my fellow brothers to continue working towards their dreams no matter you circumstances. A wise man once told me "Failure is the key to open the door to success" I live by this and it's helped me as much as I hope it will help you.

Cj Beatty all I have to say is thank you. I have been cut three years straight from the middle school baseball time so I decided I need work harder and your videos motivate me. I am getting ready to tryout for high school and I have been working very hard and listening to your videos and I know you know how to get it done. I will continue to work hard and work harder than everyone on that team to make will message back on here how it goes. 3 more months of hard work here I come. Thank you.

I'm making the MLB and I'm proving everyone wrong. Doubt me all u want. It just motivates me even more to prove you wrong.

CJ Beatty you are the best motivator and you help all of us

I love the videos

I WILL WORK HARD! Thank you Mr.Beatty.

I try and watch stuff like this everyday to stay focused on my goal, and because of you I can now because of your videos. You have motivated me so much to keep playing, I have had so many struggles in my life and felt like quitting so many times but I want to make it so bad that nothing will stand in my way so thank for posting videos like these to keep on motivating me.

Ayee ain't that Austin Wobrock that used to play for Hawaii ? 😂

This video is A1. Gets me so motivated to do great things, i swear I've watched this 100 times!

Thank you for all of your inspiration motivating words! These are all the best! The hard ships and battles in life as well as baseball get no easier but u put it all in perspective! And empower the soul and the baseball gods and God to help empower you! I'm 32 and trying to play ball and elevate my game and better my life. God bless!

That has a very strong meaning not to give up keep pushing your self

Good luck man you'll get there someday God bless

im soon going to be able to try out for my high school team. i knew the coach since i was small. im 13 now and he coaches for my highschool but people tell me im not good enough or i suck nd it hurts to keep grinding everyday sweat blood tears injuries. all of that makes me strive to keep going. im done letting people tell me i cant or wont ever do. I AM GOING TO MLB REGARDLESS OF THE TRIALS. YA KNOW WHAT BRING IT ON CAUSE IM READY. I HOPE TO SEE SOME OF YOU OUT ON THE MLB FIELD IN A COUPLE YEARS.EVERYBODY KEEP WORKING AND U WILL BECOME STRONG THROUGH EVEN YOUR OWN EXPECTATIONS.

I play for my high school team in the seventh grade, I bust my ass off every day, and every where I go there is a ball in my hand, if you really want something in life, you will work your ass off every second to get where you want to be, and it all begins now, get up, and bust your ass doing what you want, and if you really want it, you WILL get there.

you may not be there yet, but you are closer than you where yesterday.

The day I die is the day I give up. The moment I doubt my meaning on this earth is the moment I lose. I know my meaning, it's to play baseball. I have played baseball, I do play baseball, I always will play baseball.When I'm not on the field I feel hollow. My coaches made it only to fall from glory. What I do is for them and myself. People dream of the MLB you have to be awake to do it. I need baseball as much as I need air.

God bless. This video gives the motivation and has reminded as to why I shouldn't quit

Players who "grind" do so because they dont have much talent...Fact bomb
