It’s a Motivational Monday in May, Mental Health Month, and what better inspiration than the story of Philadelphia Phillies’ Alec Bohm? Remember 2022? A young Bohm, frustrated by a rough game with three errors, muttered a now-infamous phrase: “I [expletive] hate this place.” Yikes. Philly fans, known for their passionate (sometimes critical) support, weren’t thrilled.
But here’s the amazing part: instead of negativity spiraling, something incredible happened. The Philadelphia community rallied. Bohm apologized, fans understood the heat-of-the-moment frustration, and a bond began to form.

Fast forward to today, May 20th, 2024. Bohm isn’t just leading the Phillies in something – he’s leading the ENTIRE MAJOR LEAGUES with 42 RBIs! That’s right, from wanting out to becoming a baseball powerhouse.
What changed? Sure, Bohm’s dedication and talent played a part. But let’s not underestimate the power of a loyal fanbase. Philly fans, once seemingly ready to boo him off the field, became his biggest supporters. They saw his potential, forgave his misstep, and cheered him on.

Bohm’s story is a reminder that sometimes, the most passionate communities can be the most forgiving. They hold us accountable, but they also have our backs. They push us to be better, celebrate our victories, and pick us up after our falls.
So, this Motivational Monday, let’s remember the power of a strong tribe. Surround yourself with people who believe in you, even when you doubt yourself. Find your Philadelphia – that community that challenges you, forgives you, and ultimately, helps you reach your full potential. Let’s go out there and make this week, and every week, a chance to shine, just like Alec Bohm.
