My first spring training, I sprinted past all the veterans in conditioning and was abruptly chided for my actions.
"Hey Rook, you don't make a team in conditioning," the pharaohs sagely scolded.
At the time I simply excused this adage for laziness. I was at spring training to compete. Coming from college, I competed at everything. Being number one meant you had heart; you competed to be the first person on the mound during PFPs, the first person to climb to the top of a hill in conditioning, or even the first person to finish two Chipotle burritos (I think I'm still hurting from that one).
