Softball is a hard enough sport.
It's full of emotions, mistakes, and embarrassments. This game will test you like no other sport. You can "play hard" and give as much effort as you've got and still fail.
As parents and coaches… DO NOT MAKE THE GAME HARDER THAN IT ALREADY IS FOR THEM.
Rather…
EMPOWER, LEAD, and SHOW THEM HOW TO DEAL with FAILURE by YOUR ACTIONS and WORDS.
FOCUS on the MENTAL GAME, CHARACTER, WORK ETHIC, and show them what being PASSIONATE about something looks like. If they don’t find PASSION in this game, it will eventually pass them by sooner than later.
