Attitude, character and discipline are choices that YOU own. No one can make you negative, selfish, or lazy without your permission.

WIN THE DAY!

Harper - Working forward + back behind

• Love the 👀, shows he’s on the ball really well, no fly out / up
• Connected hands + barrel allows make mid-swing adjustments to be hit hard or E-Break take

[Coach Christi 👩🏾‍⚕️🥎 @CoachChristiana]

Show younger teammates the love and reassurance you lacked at their age. Stand up for those who stick their necks out for you. Be the type of person your opponents hold in high regard on and off the field.

That is how you leave this game better than you found it.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Champions are made during moments of adversity. When most athletes give up and feel sorry for themselves, champions use their mental toughness to persevere!

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

There was only one night game a year.

On the 4th of July, the whole sky would brighten up with 🎇, giving us just enough light for a game. We played our best then because, I guess, we all felt like the big leaguers under the lights of some great stadium

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Don’t be the player who is too cool to go hard. Whether in a workout or a game, 100% is the bare minimum. Cool has no place in the game. Cool won’t impress anyone, won’t get you more playing time, won’t ever get you better. Cool will keep you on the bench. Cool will get you beat!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Once you become good, strive to be great. Once you become great, strive to be the best. Never settle. Always keep raising your goals until you reach your full potential!

2022-2023 commits and senior Hannah Miller this weekend playing and coaching at Emily Elizabeth Memorial Tournament!! 🦄

[Jon Beck @CoachJonBeck]

Great teammates make an impact. They support & encourage others. They serve as role models & examples of positivity. They conduct themselves in ways that reflect well on the team, coaches & program. They impact others, in ways that make a difference not just now, but for life!

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Confidence without work ethic means nothing. True confidence is based on years of training and preparation.

[Sports Psychology @SportPsychTips]

Being a good person is more important than being a good athlete. In the end, you’ll be judged more by your character than your athletic achievements.

[Suzy Willemssen @SuzyWillemssen]

If you’re an average player, you want to be left alone because you want to be able to slide by. If you’re a good player, you want to be coached. If you’re a great player, you want the coach to tell you the truth every day.
—Nick Saban

Never:

Refuse to work hard
Think you know it all
Think you can do it alone or don’t need others
Be afraid to ask for help
Blame others
Have an “it’s not my fault” mentality/bad attitude
Think you’ve arrived
Stop listening/learning/growing
Stop helping others
Think it’s about you
