 LITTLE THINGS COLLEGE COACHES LOOK FOR IN A PLAYER

BY:  MARC DAGENAIS, SOFTBALL PEAK PERFORMANCE COACH

-  HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO YOUR COACHES AND TEAMMATES

-  HOW RESPECTFUL ARE YOU WITH EVERYBODY

-  HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PARENTS <--- FROM MIKE CANDREA 

-  DO YOU HUSTLE LIKE RUNNING ON AND OFF THE FIELD?

-  DO YOU LOOK PROFESSIONAL LIKE HAVING YOUR SHIRT TUCKED IN?

-  IS YOUR STUFF NEATLY ORGANIZED, OR ARE YOU ALWAYS LOOKING FOR YOUR GLOVE?

-  ARE YOU PREPARED TO COMPETE?

-  DO YOU TAKE THE GAME SERIOUSLY OR DO YOU JUST GOOF AROUND?

THERE ARE A LOT MORE , BUT YOU GET THE IDEA.  THESE LITTLE THINGS REVEAL A LOT ABOUT YOUR PERSONALITY, YOUR MINDSET AND YOUR CHARACTER.  PERSONALITY TRAITS, CHARACTER AND A WINNING MINDSET ARE ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL TO THE SOFTBALL PROGRAM.  GOOD COACHES KNOW THAT AND WILL TRY TO RECRUIT ATHLETES THAT POSSESS IT AND EVALUATE THAT THROUGH THE LITTLE THINGS THAT ARE LISTED ABOVE.

DO YOU PAY ATTENTION TO THE LITTLE THINGS?  THEY DO MATTER A LOT.  DEVELOP GOOD HABITS NOW!
