Handling Tough Practices & Games as a Captain 🏐💡

Aaron Elser reflects on dealing with bad practices. He shares a story from his  team, where a tough practice left him frustrated and mentally defeated. It was a rare moment of losing control, but his coach Derek helped him see it as an opportunity for growth. Derek reminded Aaron that leadership is forged in tough times, and it’s okay to fail — as long as you learn from it.

The key takeaway: As a captain, it’s crucial to put the team first when things aren’t going well. It's not about being perfect but how you handle adversity and help your teammates move forward. Growth as a leader comes from embracing failure and learning from it.
