“Engineers have a certain mindset of how they approach problem solving....” — Trevor Bauer Quote

Engineers have a certain mindset of how they approach problem solving. That's basically what engineers are: problem solvers. You identify the problem. Then you design a process to solve the problem. Then you execute the process and repeat it over and over until you get it right.

Growth and maturation isn't celebrated or isn't talked about in society now. Is it possible that I was a bad teammate in 2012? Sure. Is it also possible that I'm a good teammate in 2019? Sure.

From what I've read, Gen Z largely favors players over teams and that's one of the reasons it's so important to showcase MLB player personalities.

I spend so much time thinking and I don't generally have strong emotional reactions too much.

People believe the only alternative to randomness is intelligent design.

I have always known about the quality of Asics products, so when they approached me, I was really receptive. They explained what they would like to do with me, both in terms of design and marketing activities around the world. They came with a long-term approach, which is very rare in this industry, which appealed to me a great deal.

It was something I was more interested in myself. When I went to see my sister dance at ballet, I was really into costumes and the arts, and my family was also supportive of whatever me and my sister wanted to do. I would say I pushed myself the most to be into design.

I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots.
