I don't believe for one second that the eye surgery has helped me on the mound.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every time I take the mound, I try to win. So that's what I'm trying to do.
I am doing better now though one of my legs is shorter than the other due to the operations.
I think the real reason for my improvement is because I had such a long period in the off-season just working as hard as I could on all my new dives; making sure I did lots of repetition to get them consistent.
When I get onto the pitch, I block out everything around it, and I really focus on the pitch.
Why do you hasten to remove anything which hurts your eye, while if something affects your soul you postpone the cure until next year?
I hit the ball early and move my wrist a lot, so I get bigger angles.
I wore glasses my whole life, but then I got Lasik eyeball surgery, and I fixed that.
Unfortunately I had an ankle problem and underwent three operations.
I hurt my left knee playing left tackle. I had surgery on my right knee.
After getting glasses and contacts it was kind of a wow moment that I could definitely see better and on the soccer field it really helped me.
