★[Team Building] Aiming to be a Team That is 'Supported'

The team's goal becomes 'achieving the annual goals (set by the players) at the start of the new team,' and those goals are almost always about 'how far can we advance in the tournament (games)?'

In order to achieve the goal of winning those games, we first set the prerequisite of aiming to be a 'supported' team.

Gratitude to various people

During the three years of playing high school baseball, players are supported by various people, including their parents, teachers, alumni, and local community members. However, it is easy to take the daily life of being able to play baseball for granted.

To ensure players engage in baseball with a constant feeling of gratitude rather than taking the support of others for granted, it is important to talk about 'always having a feeling of gratitude' almost every day, but also to link it to the annual goals set by the players
(To achieve goals) Win games
　⇒　(To win games) Get the crowd at the stadium on our side and have them support us
　　　(To build the strength to win games)
　　　　Express gratitude for the support received from those around us
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　by consciously 'putting it into words' and 'putting it into action'
　　　　(Consciously put into words) Daily greetings and saying 'thank you'
　　　　(Consciously put into action) Picking up trash
and thoroughly 'intentionally being grateful for the support of those around us to achieve the team's goals.' In extreme cases, I tell them to act it out even if they don't feel it.

'Thank you' is something that tends to be said less often, especially when the current environment becomes taken for granted. Since high school baseball players are of a generation that feels embarrassed to express gratitude, we make it a team rule that 'The ●● High School Baseball Club will express gratitude every day,' turning it into something they must do. Even if it is just 'going through the motions' at first, the way people around them view the players will definitely improve, and they will become a 'team that is supported.'
In the case of a baseball club, there are cases where the school prepares support, such as organizing a school-wide cheering squad for the tournament or having the brass band come to cheer, but the feelings of the students and teachers toward cheering change completely depending on whether it is a 'baseball club they want to support' or not.
