Yesterday was Mother's Day. Of course, I told my mother how much I love her and how important she is to me. The older we get, the more we realize how important our mother is.
To all the softball moms, a big THANK YOU for what you're doing. You have a thankless job and you don't get all the recognition you deserve.
Yesterday, i also happened to watch a game on TV. During the broadcast, they showed another team that was getting ready to start their warm-up.
You could many players with a headset on listening to music. Listening to music has long been used by the best athletes in the world to get mentally ready to perform at their best.
Use music. It is a powerful motivator and will energize you. It also helps you stay focus by blocking outside distractions.
Players - use music to get yourself mentally ready for games and practices.
Parents - encourage your daugther to listen to her favorite music on the way to the game or practice and don't be offended if she puts headset on. It will actually help her. Or listen to her music in the car!
Coaches - you should encourage this practice among your players to get in the zone before the game starts. You should also allow team music during team warm-ups. This will have a positive effect on their mindset.
What do you think?
