Melfort Spirit hopes team-building leads to provincial championship
A few days before the biggest of their season, the U-14 A Melfort Spirit girls’ softball team practiced a skill they’ve worked on as much as any drill – team building.
Head coach Cheryl Hunt told northeastNOW her team started the season doing mental toughness training to improve perseverance and determination, with a focus on team building, and that has continued throughout the year.
“We have a group from a variety of communities, so this is important for kids to get to know each other and build team momentum,” Hunt said. “We’re all driving separate directions home, but when we’re together we work as one unit.”
Throughout the course of the season, Hunt said the Spirit played well, sometimes exceeding expectations of the coaching staff.
