Be their own leader.
What you'all think about this?
Every person is different. Every person’s situation is different. Most do not even understand what it means to "be their own leader." Some do not know what "personal leadership" looks like, at least not how it should look, due to a variety of factors including upbringing and parenting. Some are just not meant to lead, be it themselves or anyone else.
Now when we say personal leadership I hear personal accountability/responsibility. Many adults can't even lead themselves. I think some folks just have to rely on others to get to where they need to go in life or at least to get to a place where they are comfortable leading themselves.
This probably applies to softball as well.
I’ve seen too many players quit or switch teams because “the coach doesn’t play me”
