Are you a coach or something like that to a baseball team of your own? If you are, then you should try your best to find a way to show your positive encouragement to your members. Try to find any baseball award or trophy that could act as motivational factor for anyone belonging to your team. Of course, when it comes to talk about the award, it does not have to be something of a real valuable item or that of having the expensive price on it. Most of the time, the simple and honest reward, such as a little trophy or small plaque, is already enough to show that you care to team, that as their coach or manager, you do pay attention to everyone’s best effort to strive for the best. And this is all that really matters, indeed.

Most of the coaches or managers for the teams might easily forget that they do deal with human. That means, all of their players or team members are just person with feelings, and thus they do have the fullest capacity to either feel honored or hurt, equally. Forgetting that achievement, no matter small it may be, is all rewarding might hurt the team’s feelings. Of course, they might have no gut to tell you so. Or, sometimes they might even pay the least attention to it and tend to forget such achievement themselves, usually telling them that it is nothing by the definition that there is no such praise or anything after getting such effort. But these members are actually discouraged, once they do feel so. And thus, it is your job as their coach to avoid your members, all of them, to have precisely this feeling and getting less appreciated.

At the very least, you could conduct your own award giving ceremony on regular occasion. You may invite all members of the teams, and especially if these members are young children, you could even invite their parents also. A small party never hurt people’s feeling, right? But a small reward always does the trick to maintain people’s admiration and respect to you. Hence, do give your award to anyone that deserves that small and simple little trophy or award in your team. Before long, you will see how respectful each of those members behaves to you in and outside the field. For they do know now, that as their coach, or manager, you do care enough to them, and so do they to you.
