Bring It In: Showing Up

The line has been blurred between showing up for your team versus showing out.

Many young athletes all too often think they are one and the same. The true leaders know the difference.

We must teach our athletes that difference.

Showing out is individually focused.

Showing up includes:

👉🏼be a model practice player (focus, intensity and attention to detail)

👉🏼 pregame preparation (sleep and nutrition)

👉🏼 in-game application (listen to feedback)

👉🏼consistent attitude including high-level sportsmanship (the hallmark of a leader and “captain”)

✳️Showing up for your team doesn’t always “show up” in the game stats. It’s our job as coaches/parents/leaders to teach and value our athletes contributions over stats alone.
