Flycloser Friday Reflection 12/1

     Thomas Nelson Softball is shifting gears from off season to pre-season workouts, so a key role in making sure everyone gets the same opportunities is effectively communicating workout times and locations. To accomplish this we send out a message typically Sunday night about what the schedule is for the upcoming week. This allows parents and players to see what is happening so they can plan accordingly to attend. Additionally, once the schedule is sent out through our remind system we post the schedule for the week on the blog with a little bit of motivation or message for the upcoming week. As you can see in the image we list out the workout time and location, but with that there is a motivational message that we hope to focus on this upcoming season: What is your why? This embodies are mission because we are connecting with the community and striving to develop our team and give everyone equal opportunities. To continue to communicate we always have a group meeting after practice to share out ideas; for example, we talked about the Angel Tree as a team after practice and brainstormed some team bonding ideas we could do for Christmas even though we aren't in season yet. Communication is key to pre-season and we are doing a good job at sharing, but we can always improve by considering announcing dates and times during school so EVERYONE hears it.
