Improvement



This week we will be sharing the character quality; IMPROVEMENT. 

Improvement is the process of getting better.  No matter if we are a parent, employee, employer, student, coach, teacher, player or professional athlete, there is always room for improvement.  The best players out there are always challenging themselves to get better because if they are not then why continue competing because someone else out there is and eventually will pass them up.

The reason I chose this CQ is because we are all dealing with athletes that are in high school or younger.  I have watched about every sport at every level and every athlete I have ever seen has a soft spot in their game somewhere.  Here at Pinnacle Sports training is what we do and training is how your athletes improve. 

I tell my hitting classes that I would rather have quality over quantity.  If a kid comes in and nonchalantly goes through the motions he is getting worse because there is no focus or determination to get better.  I would rather have 15 focused and determined swings than 40 really fast, unskilled and without purpose.  Over time the 15 good swings will help that player improve more than the 40 lazy ones.

“ARE YOU STEPPING UP?”

Positive                   Opposite

Better                                      Same
Self - Disciplined                    Lazy
Want to                                   Have to
Skillful                                    Unskilled
Developing                              Complacent
