LEADERSHIP at its finest!

Video 1 - total error

Video 2 (batter after error) - K and immediate reaction to teammates who made errors — “I Got You”

Easy to get caught up in negative emotions.

A leader recognizes to reset, respond, and build teammates up

Came in and shut it down.

Kendall was exactly what we needed in the circle tonight 😮‍💨

Some see a game of dodgeball; we see carry over to the field and LIFE!

Everything done on purpose, with purpose

[Ellie Viland @CoachViland]

A teaching point before dodgeball today was our PFP Competitive language, with focus on “challenge vs threat”…knowing someone would end up in a “you vs the world” dodgeball situation!

Sure enough a 2 v. 7 situation for the days win…and the comeback victory was sealed!
