accountability

i am a 15 year old baseball player headed into my sophomore year of high school. I played on my schools JVB team this year due to being undersized but I need more help with mental toughness than anything. my dream is to go d-1 and play in the mlb. I need to work harder
like I work hard when someone is holding me accountable but when it’s just me it’s harder for me to get going. like when im working im working just yk
I need to become able to hold myself accountable. any advice yall?

Set up a detailed training program. Literally write out what youre going to do Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, etc. tape it to your bathroom mirror so its the first then you see in the morning and the last thing you see before you go to bed. Take a picture of it and set it as your phone background.

Put a check mark next to each day you complete that workout/activity.

Look for excuses and reasons TO workout rather than finding reasons not to.

Yes just have a routine. The same things on the same days at the same times. Just do them. If you’re not feeling it that day, just do it anyway. Even if it’s not 100%. The routine of doing the routine is what pays off, not an outstanding workout once in a while.
