Trust your instincts. Trust your team.
“Trust your instincts. Trust your team.”
That’s what I remind managers of before the game.
Because in high-pressure, late-game situations, hesitation creates loses.
And the difference between the great managers and championship-winning ones?
Champions move beyond managing players.
They empower them.
When a pitcher takes the mound, managers can see all the signs.
Fatigue.
Hesitation.
A team ready to exploit any weakness.
But instead of over-managing, the best managers lean on the foundation we built:
Trusting in preparation – Players have drilled for this moment.
Trusting in instincts – Knowing the game AND feeling it.
Trusting in leadership – A manager’s belief in his team gives them the confidence to act without fear.
When a player sees the opportunity and makes the play, it isn’t luck.
It’s a culmination of trust.
Mental sharpness.
And leadership under pressure.
A manager didn’t tell him what to do in that moment.
He didn’t have to.
Is your organizational management philosophy setting your players up to lead in the biggest moments?
Are you building your team so the right plays happen naturally?
We can help with this preparation.
