mental toughness- playing under pressure

[default]

As I entered my first year last year as head varsity coach, I evaluated players on ability, attitude, and attendance. ?What I didn't consider was a player's mental toughness in a big game. ?I want the player who wants the ball hit to her, or wants to bat with 2 outs in the last inning. ?I didn't have too many of them last year. ?

Is there anything I can do to either evaluate this early, or is there any way to build this?

Thanks

Witz,
Get this book and read it. Then take the chance that your team will think you're silly and actually do the things the author describes and outlines.

You'll be amazed at the transformation in your team.

The book is "Championship Team Building" by Jeff Janssen

I just bought this book from Amazon.com--it just came in the mail today! I can't wait to read it!! I also looked on ebay, which it was listed, but for about the same price, and free shipping if you bought one other item (to meet the price requirements), you can get the book brand new.

Jeff Jansen's chapter in the Softball Coaching Bible is also excellent reading!!!
