Listen "#105: Babe Ruth's Secret Statistic"
Episode Synopsis
You’ve no doubt heard of Babe Ruth, who set a record for most number of home runs in his baseball career– seven hundred and fourteen. But here’s a statistic you probably haven’t heard– Babe Ruth’s total career strikeouts. One thousand three hundred and thirty. That’s right– he struck out far more than he hit homers.When it comes to your own son, of course you want him to hit all the proverbial “home runs” in life. But don’t forget to let him fail, too. It can be hard for us parents to watch, but failure can actually build resilience and be more beneficial for our children than success. Just ask Babe Ruth, who said– “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.” For more ideas on raising boys to be godly men, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.
