Team Anonymous Questionnaire

Below are the anonymous questionnaire answers from the bus ride to Kalamazoo:

A few things stood out to me:

  • Teammates are respectful of each other. 3.89 out of 5. --- If we cant respect and trust each other, things will fall apart when the going gets tough. 
  • There is another level we need to get to if we want to win Championships. 4.74 out of 5. --- Everyone understands that we have to get closer, better, smarter, and faster if we want to be the last team standing in the state. That requires discipline, dedication, and receptiveness to coaching. Raise our standard
  • Teammates take time to work on their skills outside practice. 3.34 out of 5. --- If we don't put in the work, don't expect different results.

Great Teammates

 Came across this great clip of Yankees Manager Aaron Boone talking about Judge as a teammate: 




Then here is Don Granato talking about supporting each other, eliminating jealousy, playing for each other. This is all tied into the cohesiveness we want to achieve.  


Bottom line. Everything we do, we do together: win, lose, compete, suffer, battle, support, achieve. A rising tide lifts all ships. Looking forward to the weekend!
