WHAT DOES “NO EXCUSES” LOOK LIKE  

Responsibility / Accountability (OWNERSHIP)

    • IN Games

    • To other members of the team

    • To YOURSELF!  (you have a responsibility to be CONFIDENT)

    • To the Pope Baseball community and Pope High Community

  •  ACCOUNTABILITY – All players must be able to acknowledge and ACCEPT their role in successes and failures

    • Acknowledging shortcomings is POWERFUL; Overcoming shortcomings is EXCELLENCE

    • By acknowledging shortcomings, you also let everyone know that you can ACCEPT and handle the repercussions of the shortcoming and you can formulate a plan to overcome the obstacle

  • Acknowledge your role in your teammates shortcomings (THIS IS THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF OWNERSHIP)
