Sometimes You Have to Loosen Your Grip- Mattawan Season Finale

Published on: 3rd July, 2023

As much as we as coaches want to control the situation and do everything in our power to help our girls succeed... T

here are some times when we have to realize - it's not about us.

Sometimes we have to let go a bit in order to let the TEAM take the reins. And if you've done your job leading up to that point, it's most likely going to turn out even better than you could have imagined.

That's what Alicia is talking about today and what YOU can experience once you have your Culture Blueprint in place (more info on that at the end!)

For now, let's hear how Mattawan's season ended up!

Now if you're thinking... I don't know if I'd be able to push through a challenge like that, you're NOT alone. Those low moments can be TOUGH.

And there are honestly times when we don't come out of them like Alicia's team did. I know I've had those seasons (yes multiple) where you try and try all season long and NOTHING clicks.

It doesn't have to be that much of a struggle.

What if I told you there was a proven, SIMPLE process in which to put that trust we talk about so often? One that your players not only buy into... one they help CREATE.

That's what we create in the Softball Coaches' Culture Bootcamp!

Kicking off Monday, August 7th, we will spend 3 evenings creating your own unique, actionable Dream Team Blueprint. So your girls can stay motivated, focused and accountable to the things that will help them reach their goals!

Doors open July 24th, but you can join the waitlist now at https://www.mentalsweetspot.com/waitlist!
