"The team message" and "Core team value "

As everyone knows, teamwork is really important in any organizations. In particular, in case of team sports, teamwork is essential for winning the game. This time again cosidering about my baseball club from three aspects of "Establish a Shared Identity ", "Maintain the Bonds of Communication" and "Keep Everyone Informed, Involved, and Thinking About Solutions."

"Establish a Shared Identity "

In my team, we always sharing common identity. That is "win by team" It means that we win the game with the power of every members. Baseeball is typical team sports. Even if one person in the team give up winning the game, this team undoubtedly lose. In baseball, how work effectively as team is necessary rather than only one person is good at playing. A tiny disharmony between team mate change the outlook of win and loss. Therefore, the concept of "win by team" is essentisl for winning the game and sharing identification.

"Maintain the Bonds of Communications"

Esatablishing the shared identity is first step in creating unity, next, we have to maintain and reinforce this unity. It is impossible to maintain the unity of team without communication even if we could esatablish the shared identity. And so we communicate and encourage each others durning the game. This method is very useful to maintain the unity. When I in a pitcher's mound, my team mate walked to the mound to encourage me through communication such as "You are not alone, we take side with you". This cheering calm down me and be able to focus on batter. Even if a little communication, strength the unity of team.

"Keep Everyone Informed, Involved, And Thinking About Solutions.

To win the game, each member need to understand the role and have the responsibility to their task. As a measure to solve this problem, I think, meeting is realy important. Our team, after the game, is sure to have meeting immediately. This practice is really important to confirm the role. In particular, we focus on and reconsider about difficult judgeing situaition to seek the best solution through the conversation. In the meeting, we can exchange or share the each opinion.

These three aspects is essential for managing the team effectively.

Stamina

I want to focus on "take care of yourself " and "summit fever" from the viewpoint of sports.

Firstly, I will show the imporatnce of managing the condition for keeping stamina. As a sportsman, I always concerning about my stamina. Of course, running and practice is necesarry to keep and gain the stamina. However, keep in good health is also important to maintain the stamina durning the practice or game. I think keeping good condition for a game is also part of practice for sportsman. If a player can't sleep or eat enough before the game, certainly, he can't exercise his competence sufficiently. I even, durning the game, eat something to keep the stamina. And also, immediately after the game, I ingest protein to cure the injured muscle. The player who can't manage condition by oneself is not a good player even if the player has the great competence.

Next, "Summit fever"

"Summit fever" is the psychological phenomenon that mountaineer can only concentrate on reaching the summit and all else fades from consciousness. In this situation, They can completly lose sight of their physical limits. It is very dangerous for our health. This psychological phenonmenon happen in the scene of sports game frequently. For example, the marathon runner, they don't think anything except goal. Even if they realize the limits of their ability, they keep running beyond limitation. It is true that cling to the goal or victory is important for sportsman, but it is too dangerous for our health and future. In fact, my friend lost the sight of limitation durning the baseaball game to win, after the game, he can't throw the ball the pitcher any more. It was pity that ruin his baseball life for one game. Therefore, taking care of oneself is necessary for spotsman.

Optimism and Reality

I think, When we are in the face of adversity, having optimistic thought is important for success. In particular, having this quality is necessary for every organaization. Optimism have the potential to change the discourage adversity.

In fact, my baseball club was helped by introducing this concept. Optimism changed the ominous tide of team.

If I gave opponent a base on balls, our team mate cheerd me by optimistic phrase "It's allright. no problem." This encouragement makes me calm and vigorous. And also, optimism sparking the whole team atmosphere. Only optimistic one phrase can change the outcomes of win and loss. One day in the game, our team were two runs behind the other team in 7 inning. Our team atmosphere was filled with pessimistic thoughts. We were only concerning negatively "We must more than two runs to win." We were so impatient about score. Then, suddenly, someone said that "just two runs!! and we have no less than two innings!! it is easy for us, infact we could get the 3 runs in one inning!!" This thoughts turn negative into positive. And we could come from-behind victory. This is the good example to show effectiveness of optimism.

However, we are not only thinking optimisticlly but also stay in reality. As I said before, we cheer up each other when we are in adversity, but at the same time we dont forget to check the situation of game. We analyze the situstion and consider how to win the game. Just having optimistic view is not enough. Searching practical solutions is necessary for deal with stark reality.

As I mentioned previously, to solve the adversity, we have to acquire the way to look in two directions "optimism and stay in reality" at the same time.
