I'm mindful, but physically inept.

I think athletic endeavors are as much mental as physical. Take Tiger Woods, for instance. His golf game isn't nearly as good as it used to be. Because he's probably in a mess mentally. My Chicago Cubs hired a team psychiatrist this season. The Cubs haven't been doing so good. Maybe it's because not enough players are getting psychiatric help. One of the Cubs pitchers was sent off to New York, for special counseling. To learn how to manage his anger. Actually, I get the feeling that half of the Cubs players are head cases. Their minds aren't into the games. As for me, I'd love to make a living by playing baseball. I could get my mind into the game. Unfortunately, I'm physically inept. --Jim Broede
