Planning for a team building is a very hard task. If you are a coach in such a team most particularly in softball, you have the tendency to focus most of your time in the development of their attitudes because you believe that a team without a good attitude even though it wins will never become a true winner at the end of the day.
A team is as strong as its strongest member. A team cannot live by one player working alone. A team is not one, it is all for one, and one for all. A team is definitely a group of individuals who are fighting for the same or common cause. A team shall therefore work according to its capacity and that capacity should be built more in order to generate more capabilities. Once a team encourages an increase of its efforts, this already means that there is something that is constantly motivating them.
The coach should also see how a team is being motivated so that he will achieve on thinking of more and more strategies that will make his team more and more motivated. It is also important that a coach shall make an effort of treating his team more passionately so that the members can feel that while they are away from their families, they still have a family in the name of their team. Building a family-like team is really needed so that everything will run according to its pace.
There is also a need for every coach and every player to have attitudes that will serve as their motivation before they plan on starting off their
softball drills. The attitudes must also be learned selflessly. This means that your goodness should be shared with other team so that every team will also play with the same vision as yours, that is, to play a clean and fun game.
The rightful knowledge of the things underlying each
softball drills must be studied carefully so prior to its implementation, you will explain to the players what attitude you shall use in the achievement of the certain softball drill that you have to train them.
As a coach, you must also understand that your team members vary from each other. It is therefore needed that while you are incorporating different attitudinal skills to your softball players, you fairly evaluate those players who are having a hard time making their bad attitudes turn into a good one. Try as much as possible to identify the cause of this. The moment that you have discovered the reason for the problem, you may talk with the concerned individual. It is important that both of you should talk in private so that you will show respect his personal life.
The job of a coach is not only confined inside every court. It goes beyond what the public eye can see. It is more on becoming a teacher, a second parent and a best friend to their players. Without the coaches patience, determination and love for the players and the game, there will be no success, real success.
