The longer we keep looking back in the rearview mirror, it takes away from everything that's moving forward.
From Dan Quinn
It's that preparation that goes into each week. We have a term: 'Trust your training, trust your teammate, and trust yourself.'
That attitude and toughness that we want to play with, that, to me, is the most critical thing.
We want to let our play be the judges.
When you are hoping for a call or want something different, I think you lose your edge.
I think it's important that we go through everything together as a team.
Number one, from a tackling standpoint, we teach strike zone hits, and we want to hit absolutely as hard as we can in that strike zone, and that's absolutely what we call a batter in the batters box from the chest all the way down to the knees.
We want to play a really physical style ball, and so, for us tackling, we know we are shoulder-based tackling team, and we want to hit that strike zone just like you're throwing fastballs into that catchers' mitt just as hard as you can.
As far as the fouls go, we are not going to rely on anyone else to make the calls for us.
One of these topics we talk about with the team on our 'Competition Wednesday' is iron sharpening iron. That's the process we go through to get each other ready, and that's why we have some periods where we get to compete against one another.
