From Grit to Swagger - 16U Charlton holds '24 Team Retreat

February '24 - Enumclaw, WA - The Charlton 16U squad once again held their annual retreat this past weekend. They tackled a number of topics including setting expectations, communicating with those who have different styles of communication, learning the words and skill of positive affirmation, building confidence and developing "swagger".

The team was fortunate to have UW Husky pitching star and unflinching mental health advocate, Brooke Nelson, as their guest speaker. She discussed the importance of having routines to help reset your mental state in the face of challenges, the importance of positive self talk, and focusing on consistency.

As always, we could not be more thankful to the team Moms who once again out-did themselves organizing the event. We are grateful for Nicole Blankenship, Stephanie Williams and Claire Korschinowski for all of the hours and efforts put in to making this event one of the highlights every season.

We can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings!

GO AVENGERS!!
