　　Encouragement Can Work Miracles

　　2

　　Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person

　　3

　　of the “shoulders” he’s standing on,

　　4

　　the heritage he’s been given.

　　5

　　That’s what happened when a young man,

　　6

　　the son of a star baseball player,

　　7

　　was drafted by one of the minor-league teams.

　　8

　　Hard as he tried,

　　9

　　his first season was disappointing,

　　10

　　and by midseason he expected to be released any day.

　　11

　　The coaches were bewildered by his failure

　　12

　　because he possessed all the characteristics of a superb athlete,

　　13

　　but he couldn’t seem to incorporate those advantages

　　14

　　into a coordinated effort.

　　15

　　He seemed to have become disconnected from his potential.

　　16

　　His future seemed darkest one day

　　17

　　when he had already stuck out his first time at bat.

　　18

　　Then he stepped up to the batter’s box again

　　19

　　and quickly ran up two strikes.

　　20

　　The catcher called a time-out

　　21

　　and ran to the pitcher’s mound for a conference.

　　22

　　While they were busy, the umpire,

　　23

　　standing behind the plate,

　　24

　　spoke casually to the boy.

　　25

　　Then play resumed, the next pitch was thrown —

　　26

　　and the young man knocked it out of the park.

　　27

　　That was the turning point.

　　28

　　From then on, he played the game with a new confidence and power

　　29

　　that quickly drew the attention of the parent team,

　　30

　　and he was called up to the majors.

　　31

　　On the day he was leaving for the city,

　　32

　　one of his coaches asked him what had caused such a turnaround.

　　33

　　The young man replied that it was the encouraging remark

　　34

　　the umpire had made that day

　　35

　　when his baseball career had seemed doomed.

　　36

　　“He told me I reminded him of all the times

　　37

　　he had stood behind my dad in the batter’s box,”

　　38

　　the boy explained.

　　39

　　“He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it.

　　40

　　And he told me,

　　41

　　‘I can see his genes in you;

　　42

　　you have your father’s arms.

　　43

　　After that, whenever I swung the bat,

　　44

　　I just imagined I was using Dad’s arms instead of my own.”
