When Can We Celebrate As a Team?
I am constantly talking to coaches about the "appropriate amount of celebration." An this is a good question, you don't want to be the team with a reputation for stomping out the competition and celebrating on their graves, but you do want the team to celebrate.
Here's what I think. It is important to celebrate, and I always encourage my teams to celebrate as much as they can. Celebrate a strike, a good catch, a good hit, and a well played ground ball. Just do it in a way that is classy. You want the focus to be on you and your teammates.
Stay away from anything that would be considered rubbing it in the competitions face, or putting them down in any way. In fact, I teach my players and coaches to celebrate the wins of the other team. When a player has a good at bat against one of my pitchers and the at bat results in a hit for them, I encourage my pitchers to say something, give them kudos if you will.
This helps to humanize your opponents, and will keep you in their good graces. It's more than just about reputation, it's an energy that follows you and your team and will result in your team having more fun, winning more often, and having more to celebrate.
What do you think? How do you teach your teams to celebrate?
