The game of baseball can be used as an instrument in the important lessons of life. The role we have accepted as coaches and educators is to teach the game of baseball at the highest level. An even more important role is to teach life skills through the game of baseball. Teaching and modeling skills such as integrity, respect, the ability to deal with adversity, commitment, responsibility, discipline, dedication, determination, preparation, and decision-making are done on a daily basis through baseball with the goal of developing strong character in each individual. Developing strong character through the development of these skills will benefit each young man throughout their adult lifetime. Individuals that possess these skills of strong character are those that achieve success in every aspect of their life. It is my responsibility as a coach to provide the atmosphere each day to foster strong character development. Winning baseball games is an important measure of a program’s success, but it should not be the goal. Victories are the end result of reaching the goals of strong character development through the program. In other words; WINNING IS IMPORTANT, BUT WINNING THE RIGHT WAY IS MORE IMPORTANT.
