What does this look like? Reward a successful process not just an outcome. Praise tremendous effort and positive attitude. Use concrete examples to teach expectations. Explain the why of a decision or skill. Use goals setting to challenge players to reach their potential. Teach players through activities to deal with failure. Be comfortable in uncomfortable situations.

7. * Expectations of Parents  Use baseball to teach your son life lessons.  Fill your sons emotional tank.  Encourage your son to use maximum effort.  Refrain from negative comments about your sons coaches, teammates, opponents, or umpires. What does this look like? Talk with your son about their goals and plan to achieve it. Ask your son what their “flush” is. Talk with your son about overcoming adversity in baseball and life. Encourage your son to do everything they can to make others better. Ask them what they do to create a positive team culture? Remind them to not focus on outcome but the process/journey.
