10 WAYS TO EARN MORE PLAYING TIME: 1. Be the hardest worker in the room 2. Encourage your teammates 3. Be a relentless competitor 4. Make the hustle plays 5. Have a great attitude 6. Be a great teammate 7. Do the little things 8. Know your role 9. Be coachable 10. Be a leader

What Mentally Tough Players DON'T Do? 1. They do not pout 2. They are not entitled 3. They do not complain 4. They are never a victim 5. They do not cast blame 6. They never feel sorry for themselves 7. They are not afraid to confront or challenge Mentally Tough Teams Win.

Playing time is about TRUST. As a coach can I trust you to - Play Hard - Be Coachable - Know the signs - Make the routine play - Be mentally mature - Be respectful - Get a bunt down - Put the ball in play with runners on - SLIDE at home - Hit the cut off man - Be in the right position - Care more than I do about winning - Do well in class - Go to off season workouts - Be respectful to adults - Do team fundraisers If the answer is yes, then you play. The more no answers you have the less likely you are to play.

The five mental challenges of sports: 1. Pushing through discomfort. 2. Blocking out distractions. 3. Staying poised under pressure. 4. Thinking critically to solve problems. 5. Managing your ego and working with others. Work hard to improve in all of these areas!

WIN THE DUGOUT GAME!! Dugout Culture • Position players, study the opposing pitchers. Look for patterns in pitch selection. Tells in their delivery. How they handle hold times and pick off moves with runners on. See if they pay attention to the runner on third. • Pitchers, study the opposing hitters. Are they on time with the load phase of their swing. What do they chase with two strikes. Do they swing first pitch. Does their approach change with runner on vs no runner on. Are they a base stealer. • Position players, pick up your teammates. Know where everyones hat and glove is and when they are the last out of the inning someone be ready to take their stuff to them (unless they are the catcher). • Coaches, they are watching. Your body language, your energy, your support. Establish a culture of responsibility and accountability. Be the example of what you preach. • Pitchers, if there is a long inning (with your team batting) make sure to keep your body moving. With two outs do some band work, arm circles or maybe even go to the bullpen to play a little catch. Keep that arm loose. • Catchers, unless you were at bat, on base or on deck, make sure you are ready to go when that third out is made. Team, if your catcher needs to get their gear on, make sure some is ready to go out and warm up the pitcher. • All Players, talk baseball. There is plenty of time away from the field to goof off. Create an atmosphere of supporting one another. Watching the game together. Cheer your teammates on but be careful letting your “cheers” be the only thing you’re thinking about. The dugout is a place to prepare for your next opportunity. • Everyone, bust your butt to your position. NO WALKING out to your position!!
