Here is Post #11 on Winning -- Summing It Up

Teaching kids "how" to win is more important than actually winning.

This is in contrast to the "win at all costs" mentality in youth sports

There is a simple recipe to winning in youth baseball -- and all ingredients are under a player/teams' control:

Winning 3 innings

Limit Walks + Errors to 5 or less

Have 15 or more Quality at Bats

Focusing on these factors teaches players "how" to win

Pitchers that throw strikes and work efficiently are the cornerstones to winning

"Big Innings" often determine the outcome of the game, it is almost always that one inning ...

Playing the game the right way, with respect, effort and focus, is the key foundation of "how" to win
