Baseball
Head Coach: Sean Gaston
Record: 17-10
Some goals Gaston and his baseball team have for this spring are to improve as individuals and as a team, adopt as a team that the process matters more than the results and perform at their best when the section tournament begins. Gaston prepares his team for sections by promoting internalized motivation.
“I am a strong believer in helping my players learn to motivate themselves and their teammates,” Gaston said. “One of our team principles is that we are all leaders who must answer one question everyday: ‘Did I do something to make the people around me better?’ When you start to be motivated to improve those around you, unconsciously, you start to push yourself to improve as well.”
Girls Golf
Head Coach: Shawn Riebe
Record: 35-28
Riebe and his players have set goals for the year that they hope to meet.
“We have a lot of returning letter winners this year with experience,” Riebe said. “We are still a young team, but they are hungry and working hard to compete at the section level. We will continue to focus on the short game [putting and chipping]. This is the part of the game that players do not like to work on and it is the most important part of the game for scoring. If we can harness our mental game, we will be very competitive this season.”
Riebe and his players have a tough season coming up and need to stay motivated, according to Riebe.
“The players have to have themselves mentally prepared and want to succeed,” Riebe said. “We use strategies to deal with poor shots and poor holes. The mental approach has more to do with success than physically playing the game.”
