How many ears do you have? How many mouths do you have?

God wanted you to LISTEN TWICE AS MUCH as you talk.

Listen and say 'coach me coach'

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.

[Coach Pat @saintleocoach]

Softball is not an equal opportunity sport! Better hitters will be higher in the lineup. Better fielders will play ahead of you. Players that make intelligent decisions will be counted on more in key moments. If you want to be on the field consistently, then you have to earn it!

So excited to get together for our 1st practice this weekend! Looking for 1 more outfielder and middle infield type player to come join us.

Why hire an athlete?

Many people aren’t great at working with others. Athletes work as a team every day.

Rules and expectations are tough to follow for some. Athletes create team standards and hold themselves and their teammates accountable.

Many people struggle to present, perform, and produce in front of others. Athletes perform in front of hundreds every game.

Many people today don’t want to show up, work, and produce. Athletes not only understand the required work but they know they gain their advantage by doing extra work on their own.

Finding life balance and having healthy habits is difficult for many people. Athletes consistently achieve excellence on the court/field, in the classroom, in the community and in their relationships. Athletes eat with a purpose, value rest/sleep, and take care of themselves.

Many people struggle to respond to authority. Athletes embrace working with those who demand excellence and push them to their limits.

Many people struggle to show up on time for one thing each day. Athletes show up on time for many things every day.

Athletes aren’t built the same as others. They are independent but team-oriented. They are hard-working but balanced. They have killer-instinct but are loving. They value individual performance but within the concept of team success.

Hire athletes and watch your company take off! 🚀
