Russell Wilson, fourth-round pick to the Colorado Rockies baseball.

Every kid's dream to be drafted by a Major League Baseball team.

My mind racing, memories, flashbacks, moments,

speed outs and deep post routes to my brother and my dad,

to early morning car rides to AAU baseball,

Fast-forward to the championship high of winning a Super Bowl,

and the emotions and the excitement of it all,

blue and green confetti all over the place

and knowing that you just won the Super Bowl,

to a year later, the pressure of the game,

and this is the chance to win the game, and it doesn't work.

And however many millions and millions of people

and what do I say next, what do I do, what do I think?

and just coming out of college and everything else,

to, you know, shortly after, marriage not working out

fear, pain, depression, concerns, worries.

When you think about being superpositive --

but positivity, you know, it doesn't always work,

because when you're down 16-nothing in an NFC championship game,

"Russ, we're not going to be able to win this game, man,

or when you have things you have to deal with

It's hard to be positive in the midst of it all.

that negativity works 100 percent of the time.

I started saying to myself, "New are his mercies every morning,"

And despite hardship and pain and worries and wanting to get through it

You know how when you drive a car, you've got stick shift

You go from first gear to second gear, all the way to fifth?

You've got to know how to shift to neutral.

And I needed to shift to neutral immediately, before I crashed.

Will I let this define my career? Will I let it define my life?

What I found out was this: that mindset is a skill.

I started 10 years ago, training my mind,

with this guy named Trevor Moawad, my mental conditioning coach.

and we've been best friends and partners ever since.

we train ourselves to be able to run fast, throw farther, jump higher

What's our language, what does it look like,

watch these highlights, Russell, when you're in your best moments.

they don't worry about the shot they just missed.

Then I met this kid Milton Wright, 19 years old,

This day when I went to see him, he was frustrated,

"Russ, I'm done, I don't want to do this anymore,

I started telling him this story about my dad,

Why don't you graduate early, play pro football and pro baseball?
