Let's give credit where credit is due! Please nominate any player who "Did his job" on the field extremely well this week.

This award will not be given out solely on stats, although consideration will certainly be given to athletes who were "in the zone" and had great stats. I am also looking for the athlete who does the "little things" right, displays leadership, and/or overcomes adversity -- whether from self, opponents, umpires, teammates, fans, bad luck, or whatever. Please reply with your nominations on here or through my website (now up-and-running) CoachTraub.com.

Winner receives a framed Certificate of Achievement, a free copy of one of the preview booklets (Approach, Focus, or Attitude) of my book, Finding Your Peak Performance with Mental Skills Training, a coupon for this book at cost, and a framed poem titled "Do You Want to Be a Champion." This award is UIL compliant.

Congratulations to last week's winner:
Rob Salazar (FtW Northside) 5'3" 120lbs CG 5 hitter, and scored the only run of the game.

Enjoy your job. Know your job. Do your job!

Okay, small problem, which was mostly my fault for not double-checking the facts on the winner. The person who nominated Trevor contacted me today to report a mistake. Trevor actually struck out 7 of the first 11 batters against South Garland, not 7 in a row as the original nomination had stated. While this doesn't diminish his accomplishment, it might indicate that he wasn't "in the zone" quite as much. But who knows? Any strikeout is a result of both the pitcher's and hitter's behavior, so a big part of a streak like consecutive strikeouts is out of the pitcher's control. Even had I been there to watch Trevor and Jake Feckley's No Hitter, I wouldn't know who had better mental skills without a detailed interview and honest answers. While I remain a Feckley fan, I've decided to keep Eickman as the winner.

Thanks.
-Aaron
