You’ll never reach your ceiling as a player trying to be someone else.

I recall taking batting practice in Philadelphia one day and two of the bigger power hitters were putting on a display. Whenever they were swinging, it was loud at contact and even louder when it hit the seats. Never to be outdone, one of the smaller, table-setter hitters starts (noticeably) swinging harder. No doubt... it was still loud, but the outfielders were running these balls down at the track. As he was walking out of the batting turtle, the manager at the time (Charlie Manuel) says, "Know thyself." It got a chuckle but there was truth to his joking. If you look at these birds, they all have gifts they were born with. Gifts that make them naturally proficient at certain things. An insect-catching bird won't be trying to eat much fruit. A crossbill with overlapping tips is made for prying open pinecones & pulling seeds out. The same goes for ballplayers. Natural gifts such as short/long limbs, balance, eyesight, etc., can guide him or her to a more natural and effective playing style. Knowing who you are and what your gifts are go a long way towards being consistent. Know thyself.
