Timberwolves Vision

We want to help our players grow, on and off the field. Our goal is to teach each player that the field can be a symbol of their own lives, and futures. Everyone has heard the saying “when life throws you a curveball..” and our focus is in teaching how to handle that. In a real world scenario, as well as in a game, situations do not always go the way you expect them to; and in life you need a plan, and the confidence to execute that plan. It may not be the best possible route, but to avoid striking out, you come to the plate with a plan to swing.

We want to not only teach, but to lead by example, that while the focus is what happens on the field, decisions that are made off the field matter even more. Hard work is important in reaching any goal they may have, and by teaching players you can take control of a situation simply by getting a good read on it.

We build our foundation on using baseball as a driving force in all aspects of life, a hitting slump, can be compared to a low spot in life. Teaching to take a step back, take a deep breath, and evaluate the situation. To identify the problem area and, with confidence, develop a plan to correct it.

Baseball has endless opportunities to create and build character in many different ways, too many to count. The beauty of baseball is that you get comfortable with failure. In life it is more common to fail than it is to succeed. However, the next opportunity to make up for it can be the very next pitch. As in life, one negative situation has the possibility of leading into a positive outcome, if you simply take a step back, breathe, and evaluate.
