Wish your girls would understand how IMPORTANT the mental game is?

We've come up with a simple process to do so!

If you're a regular listener to this podcast, you know how important the mental game is. 

Unfortunately, that doesn't guarantee that your players will get it right away too.

Today, we're sharing our new process for getting your girls to see first-hand how impactful a strong mind can be.

FYI This program - the Flip Your Script Challenge - is only available if you go through our first two Coach levels first: 1) The Culture Bootcamp & 2) The Practice Plan Accelerator. Learn more on the site!

Do you ever feel like the coaches who've made it to the highest level are in a league of their own?

You're not really wrong. The best of the best have worked their butt off to get there and they've put a lot of hard lessons to good use to stay there.

But they're not so different from the rest of us!

Take Hutch & Bonnie Tholl of Michigan...

Are they softball rockstars? Absolutely. Are they coaches who care first and foremost about developing strong young women... just like us? Yep!

So listen in today and try to imagine how you can do these things with your girls too! Then if you want to put those ideas into action, join the next round of the Softball Coach's Culture Bootcamp!

Just head to the site to learn more!

Enjoy the show!

Your culture won't work

If you're not being true to yourself

Most of us want to be authentic, but it's not always that easy, right?

» Second-guessing if we're doing all we can for our girls

» Constantly looking for ways to improve, sometimes forgetting the strengths we already have

» Falling back on trying to be like the coaches we had or look up to

It's all well-meaning, but it's not going to get us where we want to go.

When all is said and done at the end of the season, the best thing you can do for your girls is be honest and be you!

Have you ever wondered how some teams just seem more bought in? That magical team that seems to play for each other and put the team first? Well today's guest shares some practical tips on HOW to cultivate that type of culture!

From star pitcher and national runner-up at Michigan to full-time pitching coach, Sara Driesenga is about to bring you a great episode in developing ownership within your players!

Mental training can feel like a big topic - there's so much to cover!

From confidence to competitiveness, courage to composure... It can quickly become overwhelming trying to figure out what to cover first.

If you've ever felt lost on where to start, today's guest shares some GREAT ideas that are simple, usable with any age, and wildly impactful!

Team cohesion is one of the things every team needs, but it's not so easy to come by. Maybe you can take a page out of one of our former guests' books and bring in a ringer!

Today's guest is the school counselor at Waskom High School. Sound familiar? It's where former guest Iyhia MacMichael works!

This is a great example of making use of the resources you have access to and getting creative in order to help your players. You're going to love this episode!

P.S. If you have anything to do with recruiting, whether you're helping girls find their college homes or you're the college searching for players... You're going to want to listen for the free summit we have coming up!

In this episode we take a closer look at Coach Alameda and her Florida State team - one of the most successful and CONSISTENT programs in the nation.

They have classroom time once a week, they focus on tracking "one more," they take advantage of opportunities the game presents.

She even says, "[The mental game] is the next factor of being successful. If you live it and work on the skillsets mentally, it is the difference for you to have the edge. I 100% believe it's why we are where we are."

It's that they need to know you care about them!

You've heard this before about this generation, right? They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care? Creating a team culture that feels like family isn't just about love and hugs though. It's about

- Setting a high standard,

- Holding them accountable, and then

- Having their back if they need support

That's just part of what we discuss on today's episode with Coach Megan Bartlett!

Even during COVID!

It was a ROUGH spring for coaches. We miss our girls, we're having to adjust to being off the field for the first time in forever, and all we want is to get back to what we love!

» Watching our girls' hard work pay off on the field

» Seeing the look on their face as they have that aha moment

» Going home exhausted but happy after a long day at the field - because you know you made an impact.

I know these feelings all too well, since taking a break from coaching nearly 3 years ago. It's not easy, but I promise you:

 You're still impactful. Because it's who you are.

In this episode we share more details on the actionable Culture Bootcamp

Almost every coach who has joined our group has said they want to build a united culture but haven't focused on it as much as they'd like.

They've simply been busy with a million other things.

That is the main focus of our Coach Bootcamp - to create an easy-to-follow culture blueprint that you can implement all year long!
