 PROGRAM AGREEMENT PACKET 2015-­‐2016 SILVER SLUGGERS Letter to Players, Parents and Coaches
Welcome to Silver Sluggers Baseball. We are very excited for players in our organization play at a very
high level and understand the responsibility that comes with representing a team with very high
expectations.
It is a privilege to be a teammate of other players with lofty goals and aspirations in baseball. Our
coaching staff also realizes it is a privilege to coach players that have a strong desire to compete at a high
level of baseball.
With that privilege comes a large responsibility to each other as coaches, players and teammates. We are
accountable for each other’s successes and failures. Every coach and player must represent themselves
(and this organization) with class, a high work ethic, and a will to prepare that will surpass our
competition.
It is every player’s and coaches responsibility to prepare for success on and off the
field, every day. If any individual is not prepared for a practice or game, it will limit
our success on the field, and could negatively affect our teammates goals of playing at
the next level. We must continue to remind ourselves that we are playing not only to
reach our own individual goals, but are also accountable to our teammates and their
aspirations for success in baseball at the next level.
Silver Sluggers teams will work hard to win games, but it is not our primary focus. Preparing to win, the
right way, every day, is our priority. A result of this preparation is improvement, a high level of
performance on the field, and success as a collective team, on and off the field.
Mission Statement
Our philosophy is to teach players to be accountable and earn their success on and off the field. Without a
high work ethic, success is very difficult to achieve. We will motivate each player to practice more
consistently. We will mentor each player to gain more knowledge of fundamentals and take the correct
mental approach to the game.
We take a 360° approach to learning the game of baseball. Players with a consistently high work ethic, an
intense focus on preparation, and a true desire to gain knowledge about the fundamentals of baseball will
give themselves the best chance for success. With these effort-based standards players possess more selfconfidence, trust their skills, and are prepared to overcome pressure and adversity in competition.
We know that all of our players will not make it to the major leagues. We strive to teach our players what
it takes for success not just on the field, but off the field as well.
“The principals that I learned along the way in my baseball career have helped in
every aspect of my life. Knowledge, work ethic, preparation, and the confidence
derived from being more prepared than the competition are the common
denominators in every successful athlete. We try to instill these principals in every
player that we coach.” – Brad Woodall - Woodall Baseball Academy & Silver Sluggers
