Unpopular Opinion-
Too many athletes & parents are obsessed about rankings & making “lists” to feel accomplished.
Seems like too much emphasis on “POSTING” to validate & prove that we’re “good”.
YOUR GAME will ALWAYS speak for itself more than anything else.
Focus on that👏🏼
As an athlete, you need to support your teammates after they make mistakes. Getting upset isn’t going to help them play better. By encouraging and uplifting your teammates, you help your team succeed.
Talent is what you're born with. Skill is what you acquire through practice. Even if you lack natural talent, you can still succeed as an athlete by mastering your skills!
If you lack natural talent or size, make up for it by being the mentally strongest athlete you can be. Get the most out of yourself by maximizing your effort, confidence, poise, intelligence, and leadership!

As an athlete, your career isn’t defined by one bad play or game. No matter what mistakes you’ve made in the past, you will almost always have more opportunities to redeem yourself in the future!
The two biggest mental challenges that athletes face:
1. Maintaining motivation
2. Performing under pressure
If you work on your mental game every day, you can overcome these challenges and reach your full potential.
This is absolutely terrible…one of the saddest things I’ve seen.
Players, this is a good reminder that your coach isn’t being a d*ck when he keeps repeating:
“Put the bad down.”
“Stop swinging.”
“Back up from the net.”
“Pay attention.”
This is every coach’s worst nightmare.
You don’t have to be a captain or an upperclassman to be a leader. Any athlete, no matter their age or skill level, can find ways to lead and help their team!
