Expectations by Amanda Scarborough
Reposted from Facebook, but nonetheless more excellent words of wisdom.
Yesterday I got the chance to stop by the softball field of my alma mater, Texas A&M! The team had practice and right before, Head Coach Jo Evans, had me say a few words to the team. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted to talk about as she had just spontaneously asked me to say a few things….
The first thing that came to my mind was the lesson of Expectations before you even start anything. Expectations mold your mindset. I told the team how in the weeks before I went off to play at Texas A&M, my parents sat me down and had a conversation with me about how so many amazing athletes would be on the same team once I got there. They forewarned me that as a freshman, I might not start. As a sophomore, I might not start. They told me it didn’t matter. All they wanted me to do was go in there, relax, work as hard as I could, and take any opportunity that was given to me. They told me not to pout if I wasn’t in the starting lineup and reminded me of the all around great opportunity I was given just to simply play ball at the next level and put on the maroon and white, playing for a head coach that I really admired.
I did exactly what they told me. At fall practices, I worked hard, did what I was supposed to on and off the field and learned from the upperclassman about the lay of the land on this new team with new people I had never been around before. I sat back, listened and learned. I took it all in. I trusted the veterans and I trusted my coaches.
