Our Philosophy

The Team Opti philosophy is based on our love for the game. We believe that one can learn the game of baseball by playing games at a high level of competition. We also believe that you continue to play if you win, so our priority is to field the best team possible. Following is a list of some of our other beliefs:

• Don’t expect a player to know something that hasn’t been taught by you.

• Teach sound fundamentals continually.

• Teach players to respect: teammates, opponents, umpires, parents, their country and to show leadership in all forms.

• Practice Hard! Play Hard!

• Never say “| can’t” (Be a can-do person).

• The teams that make the least defensive mistakes will win.

• Speed and a good arm can not be taught, so treat them well.

• Be in condition.

• Be strong mentally . . . Take criticism.

• Always be a student. . . As a player.

• Always be a student… As a coach.

• Make the 4th out.

• Be positive.

• Always expect a lot out of your players and you will get more than you expect.
