Practicing is a waste of time, right?

Who needs to practice? You know your stuff. You know what you want to say. You are definitely ready.

As ready as professional baseball players. The work out all winter. They go to spring training in February or March. The have trainers help them exercise. The play practice games to tune up.

Imagine if a baseball player showed up for the first game of the season. What are the chances he would be in the starting line-up? What are the chances he’d still be on the team.

Don’t practice if you don’t want to be in the game.

Speaking requires practice…plenty of it.
