Final 2012 Summer Baseball Camp!

Our final Summer BASEBALL Instructional Camp will be held next week in our Medina facility beginning Monday July 30^th .   The 4 day HIT RUN SCORE CAMP is built exactly like our popular Hit Run Score class.  Players will focus both on skills training and game play.  Athletes will rotate through a series of skills:  hitting, bunting, base running, sliding, infield and outfield for 75 minutes and play a game on the field for 75 minutes. Players age will determine the camp time with those ages 6-8 attending our 9:30-noon session and players ages 9-12 will attend the 1-3pm session. Space is limited so call now!

Purpose

PURPOSE

Purpose is knowing and understanding your end goals, which ultimately will let you accomplish your mission.  If you go through life without a purpose you are essentially spinning your wheels and not gaining any ground.  Having a purpose helps you direct all your energy and focus on the task at hand to accomplish goals. 

Here at Pinnacle Sports, our mission is to Develop Athletes for Life, so it is our duty as employees and coaches to focus all of our energy on making that a reality for our customers.

As a coach, the first thing you should do with your team is “think backwards”, meaning establish your vision and mission or purpose.  What does the end of season party/banquet look like?  Are you celebrating a good season?  A championship? Or just glad you made it through ok?  Once this is set in stone then you work backwards until present day, strategically setting a plan of attack.  Having a purpose just doesn’t happen by itself.  Do you think that the New York Giants won this years Super Bowl on a whim?  Absolutely not. They knew their goal, spent month’s planning out exactly how to accomplish their mission, and directed all their energy to accomplishing that mission until completed.  This can be used in sports, business and family.

Purpose: “How do you measure up?”

Positive                     vs                    Opposite

Reason                       vs                    Directionless

Intention                    vs                    Coast

Goal oriented             vs                    Wonder

“Want to”                   vs                    “Have to”
