Apparently being a teacher all day isnβt enough for meβ¦ so naturally, I also give my softball players homework. πππ₯
And yes, they have journals.
And yes, I actually make them do them.
And yes, sometimes itβs homework. Sorry, girls. π
We spend plenty of time working on the things everyone can see β swings, glove work, footwork, throws, bunts, baserunning.
But some of the most important work we do happens between the ears.
Confidence. Ownership. Body language. Positive self-talk. Controlling the controllables. Learning how to respond when things donβt go your way.
Because at some point, every one of these girls is going to strike out. Make an error. Get frustrated. Have a rough game. Feel pressure. Doubt herself.
We can't prevent those moments.
But we can give them tools for what happens next.
So yepβ¦ Coach Megan assigns homework. π€·πΌββοΈπ
But if a few journal pages help these girls become tougher competitors, better teammates, and more confident young women?
Worth it.
The work you canβt see matters too. ππ
