In this episode Caden breaks down how athletes can get out of a slump by redefining what a slump actually is. He explains why judging performance purely on results is misleading—especially in a game like baseball—and why the best players evaluate themselves based on the execution of their process, not outcomes they can’t control. Caden walks through a simple, practical framework for creating a “slump-proof” process, including the exact criteria he used to grade his own at-bats: mental clarity, pitch selection, and timing. This episode is a reminder that slumps aren’t failures—they’re signals to refine your process, recommit to your standards, and stay present in each opportunity.
