Willy Adames, struggling as a player with average offensive and defensive performances, took a mental break in the Colorado mountains. After sitting out a game, he engaged in meditation, reflecting on his roots in the Dominican Republic. The experience cleared his mind of pressure related to his recent seven-year contract with the Giants. Despite a slow start to the season, including a .207 batting average and five home runs in May, he needed to shift his mindset to perform better.
Adames sat out for the first time all year, took a mental respite, and retreated to the mountains with a close friend who guided him in meditation. This experience helped clean his mind of the pressure he was feeling and reminded him of his roots in the Dominican Republic.
After meditating, Adames began his ascension as a player, recalling, 'It made me go back to my roots... Let's go to the mountains the waters and rivers so you can remember where you come from and who you are.'
