Team Goal & Philosophy

We believe that for any team to reach its full potential, the members of that team must be selfless in their support of one another, trustworthy, loyal, and for players to be unified by a family like bond.
It is also our goal to develop student/athletes’ potential as individuals, softball players, and softball players within a team unit in an engaging and rewarding environment. In order to accomplish this, we believe that a high level of intensity and game-level enthusiasm where everyone stays active and has equal opportunity to improve should characterize practices. We also believe in teaching skills in a step-by-step progression and that a player cannot be expected to perform what she has not been taught. All performance principles, expectations, rules, objectives, and practices are designed to support this goal and philosophy.

Team Performance Principles

Team Unity– is a group of diverse individuals who have become one in mind, vision, and feeling, working together toward a common goal. Unity enables a team to rise above obstacles and reach or exceed its potential.
Competitiveness– is a state of mind that leads the body to action. Competitive players have passion, grit, mental toughness, and an utmost desire to win. Competitive players play with intensity, they take risks, and play with authority.
Passion– Passion causes a player to have motivation, dedication, persistence, and a strong work ethic on and off the field.
Self-Sacrifice– Sacrificing the self is when a player totally and completely dedicates herself to her team and her sport with utmost integrity and respect.
Trust– A player must trust in her ability, the coaches, and in her teammates, to perform under any circumstance. When a player does not trust her ability, she will begin to force her actions instead of just reacting to a situation.
Knowledge Players must give priority to the process and not just the outcome. This involves focusing on performance of the current action, instead of focusing on the results of those actions.
Resilience– The ability to let go of errors.
