A winning program actually demands a positive response fromits athletes. The description of what makes up a player in a winning program isdifferent from that of a losing program. Learning to win over your opponent ina fair, aggressive manner is not only important but is an absolute necessity. Awell-drilled, well-disciplined team will perform more effectively and be moreconsistent in its efforts than a team which is poorly prepared.  Player concentration is essential.Concentration can be taught through the use of drills that require thought plusexecution of the skill. The ability to concentrate is both a learned trait anda habit; players can be taught to increase their intensity as well as theduration of their concentration.Drills, not scrimmages, should beused to teachand practice skills. Scrimmages should be used as “fun” exercises thatallow a player to demonstrate those skills which have been mastered and thedegree to which those skills have been mastered. In a successful program, thecoaches and the team members are constantly learning. They must adopt aphilosophy of “We will not accept losing as inevitable.” We must indicate, toall concerned, that we are doing something to change our future.  Our players will not take a defeat seriouslyif we don’t. Part of this is sometimes referred to as enthusiasm. Enthusiasm isthe most important facet of coaching, even more important than technicalknowledge. Many great coaches were very average athletes and some never playedthe sport they are coaching and yet they are very successful coaches. “Team Pride,” is the foundation ofevery successful athletic program. Winning builds pride, hard work builds prideand commitment builds pride. Our enthusiasm and love for our sport shows in ourfaces and our body language. Unfortunately, so does our indecision, lack ofpreparedness, or lack of interest in the sport. Our players will always be ableto identify what is real and what is not. Our coaching philosophy should be based on our beliefs, our environment,and our experiences. As a result, it will periodically undergo slight revisionsas those things change. Our beliefs are basically affected by our successes,failure and the perceived needs of our program. Any change in a coachingposition means a change in environment and may require some modifications ofour philosophy. In the educational setting, winning is always important, butalways within the context of considerations such as discipline, academics,respect for opponents, and officials, etc. Coaching is not a “static” vocation,it is ever-changing. It is necessary to not only have a coaching philosophy,but to continually update that philosophy. To paraphrase a recent country musichit, “You’ve go to stand for something, or you’ll fall for everything.” Sometimes a lose can be a win. Interms of what we expect from ourselves and from our players, try to berealistic in your expectations. Set several goals in a potential loss so thatyou can celebrate with your scheduling so that you can give your team a realopportunity to win. Losing does nothing to teach us how to win. Losing canbecome as much of a habit as winning. Choose your battlefields wisely. Winningis a relative term normally used to describe the success of a team. It is easyfor a coach to develop a healthy atmosphere on a winning team - the realchallenge in coaching is teaching players how to cope with the  toughtimes. Failure is a natural part of softball -  the best hitters failnearly 70 percent of the time.
