I just received this today, and thought I'd pass it along!
What Will You Be Remembered For?
Hi FastpitchBlue,
I blogged about the nomination of Crystl Bustos as the 2008 USA Softball Player of the Year. It's definitely a well-deserved honor for who is considered by many to be one of the best hitters to ever play the game especially after her 2008 stellar season.
Here's a quote in the new release by USA Softball: "She leaves behind a legacy not only as the most powerful hitter in the game, but also as a leader on and off the field.
" As you probably remember, she was one of the few players on the US team to leave her cleats at home plate after the Olympic final. This powerful symbol means that you just played your last game and that are you're retiring.
After you retire from something, people will usually talk about what you are leaving behind and what you will most be remembered for. So, let me ask you, as a coach or as a player... - How do you want to be remembered? - What do you want people to talk about when you retire?- What legacy will you leave behind?
These are powerful questions. What would people say if you were to leave today? Think about it for a second and be honest with yourself. What would people say about you today if you were to leave the game and is that what you would want to be remembered for? If so - then great. If not, think really hard about what image you're carrying and how to conduct yourself on the field.
Every single day, whether at games or practices, you want to conduct yourself and act like you want to be remembered. That's important. You build your legacy every day.
And keep in mind, people selective memory and ONLY remember the dominant trait or characteristic. In other words, if you happen to be unpleasant, selfish, or have a bad attitude on a regular basis, that's what people will remember you for even though you might be a nice, helpful and respectful person at other times. Write down what you want people to remember your for andwhat legacy you want to leave behind and be that personevery single ON and OFF the field whether you're a coachor a player. Who loves ya? ;-)
Hopefully , I'll be remebered as a Coach, Umpire, and Friend, who was Fair, Honest and Cared about everyone on the TEAM.
