Hit King's Keys to the Kingdom

Pete Rose was in large part a self-made hitter who became baseball's all time hits leader through sheer will-power and perseverance. He cared about little in the world other than getting base-hits that contributed to team victories  - while his story presents many lessons on what NOT to do in life off the field, his obsessive, driven attitude is exactly the kind that leads to success on the field. He became the Hit King, and, as he tells everyone, his most important stat is not 4256 (his number of hits). His greatest stat and favorite number is 1972: the number of wins his teams accrued. 

In a recent short-film documentary, Rose was asked for his keys to greatness. He responded that greatness does not reside in pure technique. Rather, greatness is a result of an attitude comprised of 3 essentials.

1) Be aggressive.
2) Be more aggressive.
3) Never be satisfied.

If you want to win on the field, and in life, heed the words of the Hit King!

Such players like Pete Rose are very valuable to their teams. It is so because a significant portion of wins is his merit. However, I find Pete’s principles a little strange.
