Excuse Me, Is Your Attitude Showing?

What type of attitude do you display? Are you the player who makes an error on the field, shakes it off and comes into the dug-out saying "Lets go team" or "Lets not get down" and "We can get those runs back"......in other words, you let your attitude die with that error where it should be...... buried at the end of the play.

Or......

You make a bad play and make sure everyone knows that you are mad......mad at yourself because you did not live up to self-expectations of being perfect......and when you come into the dug-out you pout and don't talk to anyone. But what does this do to help the team or you? Many players are quick to forgive a teammate's mistake and pat them on the back, but we fail to forgive ourselves and move on with the rest of the game. Sometimes a college or travel ball scout is in the stands and knows what you can do when things are going well, but they really take notice of how you react to a bad situation. Are you upbeat or do you bring yourself and everyone around you down, down, down. Softball is a game that does not stop or end because you are having a bad game, but rather it continues with the next pitch.
Please take a look at yourself and decide if you are helping your team or if you are burying yourself and you teammates with self-pity and negative emotions? Keep your attitude from controlling you. Turn a negative situation into a positive one. Everyone will notice!


Be A Team Player !
