The Definite Dozen (To Win Here)

TO WIN HERE:

1. BELIEVE IN OUR SYSTEM OF PLAY – Commit yourself to our philosophy, to our system of play. Be a sponge and soak up the concepts of how we play. Learn your role…then accept your role and do it the best you can.

2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF – Play with confidence…think positive. Don’t get down when you play poorly…realize you were chosen to be here…be a leader... remember that your heart controls what your tongue says. Lead by example.

3. BELIEVE IN YOUR TEAMMATES – Communicate with each other…help each other. Remember the strength of the pack is the wolf and the strength of the wolf is the pack. Encourage each other and support each other. Don’t ever forget the importance of the shell around the team. Be a friend. We are all different – be tolerant of teammates and others.

4. BELIEVE IN YOUR COACHES – Understand that your coaches are trying to help make you better people and players. Ask questions…don’t whine, complain or make excuses. Learn to take tough coaching. You must believe that the coaches are doing what they think is right for the team and you.
