As a coach, the best feeling is seeing your players improve, succeed, and have fun. Work hard every day to make a positive impact on your players’ lives!
You won't always enjoy the work of getting better.
But you definitely won't enjoy the consequences of avoiding the work.
Difficult isn't optional.
Do the work.
Work in the dark.
What you do in the dark is revealed under the bright lights.
Who you are in anything is who you are in everything. Your character & successes can be built by what you do when no one’s looking. It is built outside of games and practice. It’s built in the quiet, dark, mundane days.
Jesus constantly went out alone to pray. He built away from others and recognized that what He did in solitude was extremely important.
We are called to do our best, no matter the situation.
(Colossians 3:17, 23)
Work in the dark. Win in the dark. Then win in the light.
Players
Bring attention to yourself.
Stand out.
Be noticed.
How?
Keep your mouth shut.
Play hard.
Play with energy.
Play with toughness.
Wear the uniform right.
Don't show boat when you do something good.
Don't hang your head when something doesn't go your way.
Be a great teammate.
Play with class.
Respect your opponents.
While others act like fools, you act like a real player that's been raised right and respects the game.
HS Baseball Players ⚾️
One minute you're on top of the world, the next you're at the bottom of the ocean... that's Baseball in a nutshell 💯
Remind yourself:
• Have fun
• Play hard
• Positive mindset
• Positive Body Language
• It's never as bad or good as you think ‼️
Listen to the dugout chatter.
Listen to the chatter during the game.
Watch the body language.
Watch the on-deck swings.
Watch the pregame routine.
Watch between innings.
Watch the interaction with teammates.
The real dudes act different.
They have etiquette and feel.
They're not clowns.
They're competitors.
Coaching isn’t a hobby. Coaching is a mission. Somewhere in the world, a parent’s praying for someone to show up for their kid. Not just to teach the game, but to lead, to push, to believe in them when it’s hard. Be that coach. The one who shows up, builds up, and never gives up.
The best athletes are secure with themselves. They know that their self-worth isn’t determined by athletic success. This self-assurance allows them to take risks and perform well under pressure.
