HOW TO BE A TRUE CHAMPION
HOW TO BE A TRUE CHAMPION
This is a friendly reminder to all that this is what the game of baseball is all about. All players have received a copy of this a few weeks ago at practice.
1. Give your best, 100& effort - always!
2. Hustle. On a baseball field, walking is prohibited. We hustle and run at all times! A team that hustles is a team that plays with enthusiasm. Hustle does not require awesome talent, it requires simple commitment and desire. Regardless of whom we play, it is our goal to out-hustle our opponents.
3. Support your teammates. Baseball is a TEAM game. Encourage your teammates if they struggle and cheer for them when they do well. Champions know the value of positive support for each other.
4. Think Baseball. Focus. Whether in a game, scrimmage, or practice, concentrate and learn from all baseball situations.
5. Master the fundamentals. Learn the basic skills. He who practices hard becomes a good game day player.
6. Make every mistake a learning tool. Mistakes are common in baseball. Errors are part of the game. What sets winning teams apart from others is attitude. When a mistake is made, forgive yourself, and learn from the experience.
7. Know what you are going to do before you do it! Anticipate each pitch and fielding situation by knowing your specific assignment and anticipating the ball being hit to you.
8. Demonstrate good sportsmanship. Be a good sport. Show respect for opponents, officials, and fans. Champions win and lose together with honor and respect.
9. Be a good communicator. There is a time to talk and a time to listen - know the difference. Be attentive and listen to your coaches. Respond positively to direction and instruction.
10. Develop loyalty. Championship teams understand what it means to be a team player. Always put team goals above individual statistics.
