575. The Secret to Dominating your Roll

Austin breaks down a comment from Freddie Freeman on the 6-1-1 podcast: Freeman refuses to swing at a pitch on the corner even when he knows it's coming, because it's outside his "honey hole," the exact zone where he does damage. Austin connects this to the circle of competence: knowing your strengths, knowing your limits, and refusing to chase a role that isn't yours. He uses Dave Roberts' 2004 stolen base and Dennis Rodman's rebounding career as proof that committing to your actual role beats chasing the hero moment.
