12U 2008 State Champs!!!

We did it girls!! 2008 12U State Champs!! I just wanted to congratulate each and everyone of you for such an outstanding accomplishment.

You all did such a fantastic job. Each one of you played a big part in getting our team victorious at this tournament. We(myself, the coaches, your parents, family and friends) are all proud of you and you should be proud of yourselves. Let your friends know that you are the top team in Southern California.

We have accomplished two thirds of our team goals. Let's really focus on the next third of our team goals. I know that by continuing to work hard as a team we will accomplish the last third of our team goals. I am sure I do not have to remind you as to what that last third is.

As a new week starts we need to get back to work. You have all been doing such an outstanding job at all practices and tournaments. Let's keep the high energy, the team spirit and the focus on the last leg of this journey we are on. Here are some words I want you all to think about when you think of our team.

"Teamwork is the merging of the skills and talents of a group of people into a single force much stronger than that of any individual. This force is unbeatable. It enables those who work together to win together."

Lastly I wanted to make a comment on my fine coaching staff. Guys I want to thank you for all of your efforts and dedication to this team. We could not have reached our team goals without you all. Also to the parents, family and friends, thanks for all of your positive support we definitely could not have done it without you all. I feel very lucky to be able to coach such a fine group of young girls. They are all awesome.

Remember: "Success is a journey, not a destination." Let's continue this journey right on to Las Vegas.
Viva Las Vegas!!
Go BV!!

Freedom Tournament Finalist

Girls,
Over the weekend we came up a little bit short, that's okay because it is this weekend that counts. Being defeated over the weekend is only a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent and I know we are not even close to giving up. Think of it as a learning experience and that we can only get better from losing a game. Let's get down to work this week in practice. We all need to work hard and stay focused on our team goals.

Here are some thought to consider about winning
 

To continue to develop the winning attitude you must:

Become excited, confident and enthusiastic about your goals. Winners have plans to reach their goals. Winners make total commitment to their goals. If you believe you can, you will. Go for the GOLD!! Winning means believing in yourself...Believing you can perform at the standards it takes to win. When you see yourself a winner, you will be. And lastly a positive attitude is a WINNING ATTITUDE!!!


Keep up all of your hard work and of course continue to develop your winning attitude. You are all awesome.
GO BV!!

BV 12U 2008 District Champs for South San Diego

To the BV 12U Gold Softball Team,

Awesome job girls over the weekend. Way to put away all the teams we faced in our District. You all know that this is our first step towards our ultimate goal. Now we have this weekend in Escondido to help prepare us for the state tournament. Thank goodness we are playing right here in San Diego.

For this week please think about these words: "There's no force stronger than the surge of confidence that comes with accomplishment. Once started, there's no stopping success."

You all know what is next. Keep working hard together towards our BV 12U Gold goals. It has sure been a pleasure to watch this team play this season. I am looking forward to many more games.

Stay Gold and go BV!!
