Rollercoaster ride to the playoffs

Starting off hot in the beginning of the season definitely paid off for the Navigator's. We slowly started to just expect success instead of working towards it. Right now our team knows we have made it to the playoffs, but we have had an identity crisis the past 10 games. Sometimes a roster gets flipped around a bit later in a season because certain players aren't as consistent as others, yet it is tough as a position player to be moved around in the order. The only thing you can do is play the game the same wherever you are placed. The next few games we will be fighting to find a line up that has the greatest probability for success. Every game is different, since there are almost too many variables to count, but the one thing that never changes is a players "drive" or "want to" attitude. No one can motivate you better than yourself, and the only one way a player can prove he is worth anything is by his actions. Hustling for every ball and giving your all towards every play is the only thing any coach can ask for. Our team has many personalities and we have indeed hit some bumps in the road, but you can guarantee we have enough players on our team that have that drive, that have that urge to go to the next level, prove that they belong in the starting line up. There are a lot of players that have given up, and are only thinking about their ride home when the season is over. I am speaking for every player in this league when I say that I am mentally and physically worn out, but that's what all sports are about. Pushing the limit and finding out what you can accomplish when the odds are against you, running till you are out of steam and giving it all you got. We are in a good enough position to give this a go if our team comes together a little bit more the next couple of days. We are working hard to look past some negative attitudes we have encountered, once we establish a set line up it will be a little easier to learn our roles and stick to them. One thing still never changes, wherever we are placed you still have to catch, throw, run, and hit. We have proved we are all good at doing those things so nothing should hold us back from putting up a fight.
