Do Authors Need A T-Shirt To Succeed?

 

“We Can Win.”

This was the battle cry worn on t-shirts for players on a losing team. Perhaps it should be the mantra for every struggling author who has to up his or her game to break through an ever-competitive field.

The New York Mets floundered with back-to-back last-place seasons in the late 1970s. Their gutsy, grinding catcher, John “Dude” Stearns, made the shirts up and gave them to teammates amidst a horrible losing streak. He wanted to remind them to believe in themselves.

Stearns passed away last month and his death rekindled memories at his attempt to call upon others to play up to their potential, to be reassured that they could succeed.

Is it time to get your t-shirt? What would be printed across your chest?

Whatever the slogan, pen it and print up a shirt.

Say it.
See it.
Wear it.
Feel it.
Live it.

The Bad News Bears of professional baseball — and maybe all of sports back then — the New York Mets were just awful from 1977-1983, a seven-season span of finishing last or next-to-last in a six-team division. One player stepped up to help others see themselves differently.

It is now your turn to see that you can win.
