Roy Halladay Retirement Interview

-Some really good insights.  Said that he had to be his own critic.  Had to look at every game and examine what he did well, and what he did not do well, regardless of what the outcome of the game was.  Had to be honest with himself.  It would be possible to get a win, with only a couple hits, but realize that he really didn't pitch the way he should have if his defense was having to make great plays for him.  Therefore, he needed to honestly identify what he did not do well and try to correct it.  He also spoke about how he had to identify where his confidence came from.  Success comes as a result of confidence, and so need to identify where your confidence comes from to enhance chances of success.  Halladay said that success comes from your preparation, but it is important to recognize what part of your preparation your success comes from.  Does it come from you workouts, your video work, you mechanics work.  It is important to have an answer for that and feed off of it and build off of it.  Preparation and routine are huge for developing success.  Find your routine and just build tremendous confidence...and then as a Christian, allow God's will to be done in regards to the results.  Prepare and build confidence as an act of worship to Him, and then surrender all results to Him.
