I learned this the hard way. Regardless of the pressure they're under, when players look into the eyes of a coach, what they should see is somebody who believes in them.

Self-confidence is more valuable than "swing-confidence." You must believe in your "self" more than you believe in your swing or mechanics.

Just because we teach it, doesn’t mean they learn it. Repeat to remember, remember to repeat. How do you assess & check for learner understanding? What strategies do you use to prove learning? One size doesn’t fit all.

Chemistry outplays Talent. Build a profile of the players who best contribute to your teams chemistry. How do they approach their work? Other players? What makes them special? What values seem to be driving the behavior? Make this profile your target. ~Bruce Bochy.

The value of a detailed daily time management plan stayed committed & invested in the preparing for each day & you’ve experienced increased confidence, productivity & efficiency as a result. Lack of direction, not lack of time, is the prob. We all have 24 hour days. ZZ.🧠💪⏳⬇️

The quality of your next performance is determined by how u choose to respond to your last performance.Just because u played poorly today doesn't mean you'll play poorly tomorrow-unless u choose to think that way. W or L you can choose to respond like a winner or a loser .#AG16🐐.

Culture strategy: Ask players who they want to become, how do they want to be seen/known? Have players write down the attributes of their desired persona & after each day, each workout, each game, ask if they acted in alignment & are making progress toward that person.

Thoughts become things. Manifest desired moments & outcomes👇. The idea is that if you can see👀 it in your mind🧠, you can hold it in your hand. Energies required to manifest are thought, emotion & action. Action is a high road to self-confidence & self esteem Bruce Lee. #RAMP-C

Losing sucks.Winning is fun.But what matters more than either result,is how you respond to both outcomes. Do u get complacent after a win?Do u get negative after a loss?Or do u just continue to learn & compete ur tail off regardless of the last outcome?Its a mindset.Its a choice.
