Let your teammates know you appreciate their efforts. Celebrate success! Hard work every day pays off when moments like this occur.
Team Pride Out of respect for your community, high school, team, and former teammates who worked so you can have the facilities and equipment you have.
Memories Your family will remember Your friends will remember Your teammates will remember Your classmates will remember You will remember Don’t have regrets!
SCHOOL SPIRIT Celebrate your achievements! Celebrate the achievements of others in your school! Celebrate Litchfield! Be grateful for what you have! Celebrate what others have done for you!
It’s so much fun to celebrate success with your teammates! Friendships are formed that last a lifetime. The difference between winning and losing can be a split second.
FRIENDSHIP Take time to appreciate your teammates. Care about how they feel. Listen to their concerns. If we can set aside petty differences and come together as a team, we will be champions!
Win or lose, the result of each game isn’t determined on game day. It is the culmination of hundreds of practices and thousands of hours of hard work. It is the culmination of how you approach these practices and games. Do you show up each day focused on softball and only softball? Do you always work as hard as you can? 110% effort? Do you have the discipline to always do and act up to the expectations your coaches have set for you? It may be one day, week, or year, but eventually if you are not approaching the game this way it will adversely affect the result of a game.
DISCIPLINE Every team, every player has the same amount of practice time, it’s what you do with it that matters. What do you do when no one is looking? Do you drill effectively? Make wise use of practice time? Do you find ways to make practice competitive? Do you try to get better every day?
LEADERSHIP LEADERSHIP = INFLUENCE Because perception is reality and it is perceived athletes get treated differently, all athletes are leaders in school. The question is do you want to have a positive or negative influence. My wish is that you have a positive influence.
FUNDAMENTALS Players will make mistakes. It’s OK! But, the commitment to learning to perform softball activities with the proper technique will help to put you in the correct position to be successful!
Learn to cherish the inner circle. No one outside of the TEAM really understands what you are going through.
Be coachable. It’s not personal. Listen to what your coaches say and try to do what they are saying. We care about you. We want what is best for you.
COACHABILITY Coachability means listening. Coachability means not arguing about what the coach expects. Coachability means trusting that the coach knows what’s best. Coachability means trying to perform what the coach expects with maximum effort. Coachability means being respectable.
CHAMPIONSHIP MOMENTS POSTSEASON SUCCESS
