Best Speed

Analysis: I first heard this phrase when I was 13 years old playing for my baseball coach Alec Smith. Since then, this phrase has evolved to mean more to me as it is our mantra at sac city baseball.

Giving best speed, or “going best speed” is essentially giving everything that you have in that moment with every breath you take in any aspect of life. I first heard this word on the baseball field but now I find myself saying the phrase outside of baseball with my friends. I also find myself subconsciously saying the phrase when i’m contemplating doing  something or not which usually results in me making the correct decision.

I would say an example of how someone could say this and how I say it is saying it to yourself in your head when you need some extra motivation. We use it on the baseball field to keep each other in check on what we’re supposed to be doing.
