Try and try again, and you will succeed. Alex Rodriguez has taken this saying to heart. The former New York Yankees slugger was one of the best that baseball saw, but his performance can’t all be attributed to raw talent. What fueled his fame was the hard work he put in before each game, trying his best to correct his mistakes. The same zeal has followed him into retirement.

A-Rod explored his other passion, business, after hanging up his cleats in 2016 and has not looked back since. Besides being the CEO and founder of his eponymous company A-Rod Corp, he’s also part owner of Minnesota’s NBA and WNBA teams. But while Rodriguez may be a baseball whiz, smoothly shooting the hoops still eludes him.

Alex Rodriguez Practices His Basketball Throws

Rodriguez has taken his athletic abilities to the hard court. Although he appeared in a celebrity basketball tournament once, he admits his skills are nothing to boast about. However, now that he no longer has to pick up a bat every day, he has taken up a ball.

And ownership of professional basketball teams doesn’t hurt either. After a long period of trying, Rodriguez can finally shoot a perfect three-pointer!

A recent Instagram post shows a series of clips joined as his ball cannot make it through the hoop. After a few bad tries, though, he finally makes the perfect shot.
