What Aaron Judge teaches (and what to take from it)
- Bet on your own season. Judge played 2022 without a new contract, hit 62 home runs and then signed the biggest free agent deal in MLB history at that point. Pick one project you can control this quarter and give it your best effort before asking for the raise.
- Choose the longer path when it fits. Drafted out of high school in the 31st round, he went to Fresno State and was a first-round pick three years later. Think about one qualification that would raise your starting point and book the first step.
- Lead with routine. Named captain in December 2022, he was the Yankees’ first since Derek Jeter. Pick one habit your team can copy, such as starting meetings on time, and do it yourself first.
- Come back after a stretch off. A rib stress fracture and a calf strain cost him much of 2026, but his earlier seasons rested on years of work. After any time away, restart with a small, fixed daily block rather than a rush.
