Building Champions 2013 North Delta Blue Jays

www. ndbluejays.com

The Merriam-Webster dictionary has four definitions for ‘Champion’:

1. Warrior2. A militant advocate or defender3. One that does battle for another’s rights or honor4. A winner of first prize or first place in competition

It’s interesting that it’s the last definition that describes being a winner. This certainly is the most common understanding of being a champion. But while this definition describes what is essentially an outcome, it is the other ones that describe the behavior and attitude that are needed to achieve the outcome.

The Blue Jays slogan ‘Building Champions’ embodies the concept of acquiring the behavior and attitude needed to be a champion. The score at the end of the game reflects who the ‘winner’ is. And those who do best within the context of the rules ‘win’ the contest. Being a champion doesn’t guarantee that you will win. But putting in the effort to develop the behavior and attitude of a champion will greatly improve your chance for success.

While we speak of this in regards to the great game of baseball, becoming a champion on the field will lead to success not only on the field, but to other aspects of life as well. One does not become a champion in anything without a commitment and discipline to hard work and a focus on improving performance. These three things, commitment, discipline and hard work, are the ‘building blocks’ upon which a champion is built.

John Wooden, the legendary UCLA basketball coach had perhaps the greatest insight into the concept of building champions. Despite being the winningest NCAA basketball coach of all time, Coach Wooden never talked about winning to his team. To him it was all about being successful. He defined success in this way: ‘Success is peace of mind which, is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.’

‘Building Champions’ is all about learning to become the best you are capable of becoming, on and off the field. If you have not ever read Coach Wooden’s ‘Pyramid of Success’ you would be well advised to do so if you are serious about becoming a champion. A few final words of advice from the ‘Coach’:

‘Don’t measure yourself by what you have accomplished but by what you should have accomplished with your ability.’

‘Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.’

‘Never mistake activity for achievement.’

‘If you get yourself too engrossed in things over which you have no control, it will adversely affect the things over which you do have control.’

History of the North Delta Blue Jays2013 marks the 18th season for the North Delta Blue Jays. Founded in 1995 by Bob Burkmar, Mike Kelley and Ari Mellios, the Blue Jays have offered high school aged players the opportunity to play competitive baseball against the best players in the lower

mainland and throughout BC and the Pacific Northwest.

Originally the Jays played other club teams in the lower mainland, BC and the states. In 1999 the Jays and other five lower mainland club teams joined with the six team Island Premier Baseball League. The league expanded to its current 13 team format and changed its name to the BC Premier Baseball league in 2000.

From 1995 through the 2008 season Ari Melios was the teams head coach with Bob Burkmar the Assistant Coach and Mike Kelly serving as General Manager. Ari and Mike stepped down after the 2008 season. Bob took on the added duties of General Manager and Mike Wilson was retained as the teams head coach. After two seasons Jason Rich took over the head coach role in 2011.

At the conclusion of the 2012 season Bob Burkmar retired after 17 years of service with the Blue Jays. Long time pitching coach John McRae also retired. Larry Waddell took over as General Manager along with Gerry White as head of the coaching program and Brent Crowther as head pitching coach. Brad O’Hara was named the Senior team Head Coach in 2013.

The Jays have enjoyed considerable success over the years. The 1998 club was elected to the Delta Sports Hall of Fame in 2008 and the club was selected the BCPBL Team of the Year in 2010. Along the way many players been helped to achieve their goals of playing baseball in college or on the professional level. Dozens of players have gone on to play at universities and colleges in Canada and the US. Chase Larsson(2006) received the Tino Martinez award as the top baseball player in NCAA Div II in 2012. Several players have been drafted and have gone on to successful professional careers such as Justin Morneau(1999), Jeff Francis(1999) and James Paxton(2006). Others have had success at the international level including David Van Ostrand (2005) who has played for Team Canada at the World Baseball Championships and the World Baseball Classic. This year Senior team member Luke Manuel(2013) has been selected to the Canada Junior National Team.
