A team becomes a team when it has a common purpose with respect for everyone's role. Otherwise it is simply a group of people.
Younger kids often give into fear, especially as they are just beginning to develop self-confidence.
If you have kids who play baseball, I encourage you to HAVE THEM watch this short video from Owen about mental toughness! youtu.be/L5kv4H7cQS0
Self-Discipline is the "ability to pursue a desire despite temptations to abandon it."
Athletes: there comes a point where if you want to separate yourself from the rest of the pack, it’s going to take self-discipline do what others won't to be successful.
It's important to combine your DESIRE with your VALUES. Values are things that you have to do in order to achieve your desire.
Do you DESIRE to be a good pitcher? Then you must VALUE bullpen sessions.
Bottom line: Desire is the first step towards being a mentally strong athlete
Two teams have now won the World Series in Arlington since 2010.
Neither are the Texas Rangers.

Mental Strength is the ability to use your MIND to influence your physical BEHAVIOR.
Let's help our kids understand that #mindsetmatters and mental health is important to being a successful athlete.

Talent is good. But talent alone isn't good enough.
Give me an athlete who has the "want to" over the athlete who relies on talent alone.

I see athletes move on to the "next thing" because the thing they were doing "didn't work". But did they really give it time, energy and consistency?

Parents: Yelling at the other team from behind the fence doesn't make your team any better. It won’t make your team improve mechanics, gain confidence or play better defense.
This type of "mental warfare" at a youth game has a term:
BULLYING.

Tis the season for youth baseball tryouts...
Teams can sell "vision" all day about being in it for the right reasons. (development, fun, etc.)
But if their "culture" speaks otherwise, no amount of "vision selling" will change that.
Culture eats vision for breakfast.
Racism In Youth Baseball @ABCA1945
The truth is, many young minority athletes can identify with the experience of facing racism while playing in youth sports. battlestrong.org/2020/06/rac…
