Hello 12u gold girls and parents, First off, the coaching staff and I want to thank you parents for your support and dedication this weekend.
Girls, way to bring home the 1st place trophy. I'm proud of each and everyone of you. You girls showed a lot of heart and fight in you this weekend. Not bad, for our first tourney together. It wasn't easy, but you guys stayed focused and found a way to come together as a team and win it. Several of you came up with clutch hits/plays and Alex - way to step up and pitch in pressure situations and finish them off. With that said, girls I want to leave you with this...
How many times have you heard the familiar expression, "There's no 'I' in team?" I can almost guarantee you that every coach that you ever had made that statement more than a few times. These coaches had a job to do and that was to build a team where "together everyone achieves more." Since they were coaching a team sport, it was vitally important to the success of the team to meld all of the talents of each team member. Ball hogs and glory hounds tended to take away from the overall team effort, not to mention the dissension that predictably occurred when one member tried to steal the thunder from the rest of the group. Well it looks like there definitely is an 'I' in team after all. Each team member depends on each of the others to pull his or her own weight. If any team member fails to do his or her job, then the entire team suffers as a result. Team building is just what it says it is - pulling a group of individuals together to work as a cohesive unit. That means there's a lot of "I's" working together, doesn't it? You bet! How about you? Do you do whatever it takes, whenever it's needed, to help your team? Are you ready, willing and most of all, able to pitch in to make your team a winning one? It's absolutely crucial that you dig in and do your part. Your teammates need to know that they can count on you to give a 110% effort each and every time, especially when the going gets a bit rough. Winning isn't a once in a while thing. No, it's really an all consuming attitude that all winners possess - all of the time. Each of us were born to win. It's up to you to make sure that you do your part to make winning a way of life for your entire team as well.
Players win games. Teams win championships!!!!

Something to think about!
Hello Girls wanted to share this with you..
Your will is an extremely compelling force. A winner holds inside himself or herself a resolute, unrelenting will to win. A winner is known for throwing his or her entire heart and soul into reaching out and achieving his or her individual dreams. A champion knows only one way to play the game of life and that way is full speed ahead. These power performers staunchly believe that anything (and I do mean anything!) that they can conceive in their minds and believe in their hearts, they can achieve in their lives. Nothing is ever out of reach for the real winners. While the would-be winners tend to view success as an impossible dream, the real winners see their success as an inevitable reality. They think like winners, they talk like winners, they act like winners and most of all, they see themselves as winners. Therein lies the elusive secret. A winner knows that he or she must first think, talk and act like a success story before he or she will become one. These top achieving individuals make the most of this "winning edge." They live each and every success in advance
in their minds. They can literally "see" it, "sense" it and "feel" it before it actually occurs. This sensory rich mental environment, where they see themselves winning over and over again in their minds, lays the all important groundwork for future success. This unique capacity to actually conceive success in advance strengthens and reinforces their ability to believe they can do it in their hearts.
Once the winners have crystallized a clear picture of where they are going in their minds and fervently believe in their hearts that they have what it takes to make it happen, they focus all of their efforts into converting this mental picture into a reality. Winners know, really know deep down where it counts, that they have what it takes to achieve whatever they truly want in life. They possess an unwavering commitment to excellence in everything they think, say or do.
