Season Goals



Whatchamacallit of the week:
What are your goals? 
In other words, what do you expect of yourself?  
We need to share our expectations, so we can test ourselves and make sure we are truly improving.  
Write at least 3 goals for yourself this season, 
  • post these goals in your bedroom
  • keep them in your softball bag
  • anywhere you will see them often

If we set goals, we have better focus.

Pregame

It is important to have a pregame routine. A prescribed way to warm up, knowing confidently, if you go through each step in your warmup, that you will be fully game-ready when the umpire calls "Play-Ball". It is important to create a routine, and practice your routine many times before games begin. #1: Let Coach Jordyn know if you are unsure of your pregame routine. We can talk about what works best for you and practice it.
Whatchamacallit of the week:
After you have warmed up, it is important to tell your coach and catcher a few things before you step onto the mound...
What Should You Be Telling Them?
  1. Tell your catcher and coach what pitch or location is working BEST for you today.
  2. Tell your catcher and coach what pitch or location you are struggling with today.
  3. Tell your catcher and coach if you are game ready!
