In a recent interview, Toronto Blue Jays veteran George Springer opened up about his mindset heading into the upcoming season. The outfielder, who signed a six-year, $150 million contract with the Blue Jays last offseason, spoke about the importance of having a clear mindset both on and off the field.
Springer emphasized the need to stay focused and maintain a positive attitude, especially in the face of challenges and setbacks. He credited his mental approach as a key factor in his success throughout his career, including his time with the Houston Astros where he won a World Series championship in 2017.
“I think having a clear mindset is crucial in this game,” said Springer. “There are so many ups and downs, so many things that can distract you. But if you can stay focused and keep a positive attitude, you give yourself the best chance to succeed.”
The 31-year-old also discussed the importance of leadership and setting a good example for his younger teammates. As one of the more experienced players on the Blue Jays roster, Springer acknowledged his role in helping guide and mentor the team’s younger players.
“I’ve been fortunate to have some great mentors throughout my career, and I want to pay that forward to the younger guys on this team,” said Springer. “I want to lead by example and show them what it takes to be successful at this level.”
Springer’s clear mindset and leadership qualities have already made an impact on his teammates and coaches. Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo praised Springer for his professionalism and work ethic, noting that his presence has had a positive influence on the team as a whole.
“George is a true professional in every sense of the word,” said Montoyo. “His work ethic, his attention to detail, his positive attitude – it’s contagious. He’s been a great addition to our team both on and off the field.”
As the Blue Jays gear up for the upcoming season, George Springer’s clear mindset and leadership will undoubtedly be valuable assets as they look to make a push for the playoffs. With his experience and determination, there’s no doubt that he will continue to be a key player for Toronto both on and off the field.
