1.) Commitment!
You made this team for a reason. Your coach sees potential in you and you should make sure you don't disappoint. Make sure that you know that this is a commitment. Don't skip practice or not show up to games just because something else less important came up. Keep your commitment and don't let you or your team down.
2.) Try your best!
Whatever sport you play, you have to be trying as hard as you can. You need to be giving 110% to yourself and to your team. Be aggressive! You know you are good so go be good. Take control and never let anyone try to control you.
3.) NEVER give up.
Giving up is probably the worst thing you could do on a team. Everyone is counting on you so why would you let them down? You can do this. No matter what you say you can't do, you can put your mind to it and actually manage to get through it. Make goals and never let go of them. You are special, so why don't you show the world that.
4.) Mistakes.
You are human. You make silly mistakes like everyone else on this planet. Learn from your mistakes. Make the best out of them. Never let a mistake scare you out of playing or out of living your life.
3.) Managing school.
When you are on a school sport you will have practices and games. You will have homework to do also. You need to make sure you are getting your homework and school stuff done. In high school especially, you will have homework and your teachers are not going to just except a late assignment. Whether you do your homework before your sport or after, you need to get it done. School is extremely important, so make sure you still make it a very high priority in your life.
