Skip Bertman and Baseball Stuff

I was reading this article over at Baseball America about the most significant people in the game. It's a nice article, and it turns out Skip Bertman (former LSU coach and baseball legend—I actually went to his summer baseball camp) is on the list. I liked this part the best:

Bertman's philosophy is best captured in a quote that ran every year with his biography in the Louisiana State media guide: "I've always believed that anything you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe and enthusiastically act upon must, absolutely must, come to pass."

It reminds me of Think and Grow Rich, an old book I read recently about making the things you want happen. It too is big on visualization and really believing in order to succeed.
