Control the controllable @LSWsoftball

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Things you can control in games:
• Effort
• Attitude
• Self-talk
• Body language
• Attention
• Execution

Things you can’t control in games:
• Winning
• Your opponent
• Refs
• Fans
• Weather
• The past/future

To play your best, focus only on what you can control.

The higher you climb in leadership, the greater the responsibility, the greater the burden, and the greater the demands. You must have thick skin and a big heart. It is not for the weak.

If you genuinely knew the weight of leadership, you would have more grace for leaders.

In pressure situations, view your nervousness as excitement. Instead of being nervous about what could go wrong, be excited about what could go right. This helps you channel your adrenaline in a positive direction.

Mental skills, like physical skills, need to be trained consistently in order to improve. This is why you should incorporate mental exercises such as meditation, visualization, and reading into your daily training regimen.

Focus on the process of success, instead of only the results. By using this mindset, we can often learn from our experiences and enjoy the journey, rather than worrying about the result. Measure your growth in movements NOT by great moments.

“That’s the beauty of being a coach, is making sure that you know the environment of everybody on your team. I encourage all of our coaches to make sure we know the people. Because if you know the people, you can get great production out of the players” Eric Bieniemy @Chiefs

If your coach holds you accountable, you are VERY fortunate. A lot of coaches accept their players doing whatever they want, whenever they want with no consequences. Discipline/responsibility/accountability are life prep! If your coach cares that much, you’re lucky so respect it!

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

If you want to MAKE plays, then don’t miss practice, workouts, extra reps, meals, film, etc. As Navy Seals say ”Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.” You don’t fall victim to pressure. You fall victim to your lack of preparation!

[Jamy Bechler @CoachBechler]

Being coachable means you are willing to consider feedback even if you don't like what you hear. It means resisting the urge to make excuses or get defensive when challenged. Getting better is more important than your ego. You'd rather get it right than be right!!

"There's no shortcuts. If you want to do something special there's a serious price to pay. There's no way around it." - Tom Thibodeau
Hard work and enthusiasm are the entry fees to success.
The cost is much greater: discipline, sacrifice, fortitude, integrity, no excuses...

Culture is what accidental leaders talk about and what intentional leaders build.

Do the work. Live the culture.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Often, your biggest enemy on the field is yourself. Once you get out of your own head, you can let your instincts take over and play up to your potential.

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

If you want to get the best out of your team, care about them - and make sure they know you care about them. Don’t assume.

When they know you’re for them, they’ll commit to the process.

Leadership is about relationship.

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Years from now, your players may not remember a single game from a particular season or tournament, but they will always remember the experiences they had being a part of your team & having a coaching staff who truly cared about them. Those are the memories that last a lifetime!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

As a coach, treat your players like you would want your own kids to be treated. Treat them with love, respect, and discipline.

Individual success is a byproduct of team success. If you put the team first, the individual awards and accolades will come!
