?Every Sport Has Created a Blind Spot..?: Timberwolves Owner Alex Rodriguez Drops Serious MLB Ambitions Hint as NBA Season Nears

Alex Rodriguez shines more than the rest in the MLB’s modern history. The ex-New York Yankees shortstop was a star that became the synonym for hard work, success, failures, and comebacks. And although there have been a lot of years since Alex stopped playing, those principles continue to empower his life. It is also visible in his Minnesota Timberwolves deal, which he fulfilled after hurdles and difficulties. But even after all the positives, there is a part of which the 2009 World Series winner is not proud of.

It is the change in sports with over-reliance on technology and analytics. The NBA team part-owner, who is preparing for the new NBA season, is unhappy because of it. Rodriguez has criticized them while addressing that these changes have reduced the role of coaches who play a significant role in shaping careers. The ex-baseballer has brought a reference from the past to back his claims. But while doing so, he has also hinted towards taking up a role in the future to make a similar mark that made him a better athlete and MLB superstar.

Alex Rodriguez Is Not Fan of a Too Much Technology in Sports

The 21st century has been all about technology. From our daily to professional lives, everywhere it is present. The sports world is also not immune to it with the use of analytics becoming a part of it. There are many pros of it but the ex-Yankees star differs on this reference.

Alex Rodriguez was recently a part of an episode of The Rich Dad Channel. On the show, he discussed many things with Robert Kiyosaki including the role of coaches in shaping his career. While advocating his passion for coaching and mentorship, Alex said, “I had three coaches. And those three coaches changed my entire professional career. Because in many ways they were more than coaches, they were mentors, they were father figures, big brothers.”

While taking the reference of the present, he added, “And I think when you think about where sports is going today. So much emphasis is based on analytics that I think the game, and not just one sport, but every sport has created a blind spot with the importance of coaching.”

Alex then focused that we should look at the role of the coach who can make a relevant change. Given that Rodriguez has mentored minor league players, it might be a hint towards him taking an MLB coaching job. Will he do it? Only time will tell. But one thing is clear, Alex will focus on implementing the same thought process as he prepares for the NBA season.

Rodriguez Looks for a Better NBA Season

Rodriguez bought the NBA team with a purpose and a dream of winning the championship. Even though he could not fulfill this last year, Alex has continuously worked towards it, even after exiting the NBA playoffs. For this, he attended games with his team player, Anthony Edwards.

Though it looked normal for an owner to attend NBA games, these synced with his principles. One is not to leave everything to technology. Because of this, Alex attended live games to notice each player, how they play, and if they suit their team for the future.

His statement that ‘I learned more in two hours, even more than I have my entire life’, was another example of his passion for coaching. Though he might not take a spot as a coach for the Timberwolves, he is a perfect mentor who understands the basics of success. His latest statement regarding it also hints at the same.

But will he choose to be an example himself by taking an MLB coaching role? What are your thoughts on it? Let us know in the comments.
