In his 2014 Annual Meeting presentation, “Is your future bigger than your past?” Forbis, a 37-year MDRT member from Memphis, Tennessee, said that his ability to focus on “the next play rather than the last” has helped him thrive and avoid distraction. He then gave a crucial example of someone driving past a letdown to succeed on a high level.<\/p>\n

Batter up<\/p>\n

In the 2011 World Series, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese dropped a pop-up and allowed the opposing Texas Rangers to go ahead in the game. Rather than get derailed by his error, in the ninth inning, Freese hit a triple to tie the game. Then in the 11th inning, he hit a World Series-winning home run.<\/p>\n

“His ability to control his attitude, to pull down the window shade on distractions, to have sobriety from negative thought,” Forbis said, “no doubt allowed him to achieve greatness.”<\/p>\n
