There are NO "Little Things!"

I am sure many of you have heard, "We just have to do the little things to be successful." Turns out that if all you have to do is the "little things" to succeed, those "little things" must not be that little after all. Many aspects of our game, softball, are very easy: playing catch, fielding a ground ball, taking good angles to balls, etc. (I will say that hitting is not among this list) With that said, we still have to devote time and focus to make sure that we are attacking these skills appropriately. There are no "little things" in our game.

We must make sure that we do not fall into the trap of false language. If we continue to say things like, "we would have won if we would have done the 'little things'," we will soon give in to talk like, "we only lost by one run. That isn't too bad." Focus, work hard, and devote time to improving yourself mentally and physically in all aspects and the game will come easy because you focused on the process and your body knows what to do in each and every situation.
