Championship Habits: Why They Matter More Than Just Winning
Originally published in 2016, this post has been refreshed to reflect MADE’s evolved mission and insights in 2025.
Creating championship habits is one of the things we are most passionate about at MADE Baseball. It’s not just about winning games or lifting trophies — it’s about building a lifestyle rooted in growth, appreciation, and daily commitment. Championship habits are cultivated EVEryday through discipline and a relentless desire to improve on and off the field.
At MADE Baseball, we teach this mentality through every program we offer — from Private Lessons to our Hustle Ball Classes.
Living the MADE Way: Every Day, EVEryday
We believe that being a champion means striving to improve yourself in every way possible, EVEryday. It’s not just about mechanics; it’s about mindset — something we focus on heavily inside our MADE Mindset blog series.
For many athletes, that hunger for growth is born from hardship. For others, it’s developed through routines and appreciation practices modeled by parents, coaches, and mentors. Regardless of background, true championship habits start with intentional effort and an attitude of gratitude.
Championship Habits Begin with Appreciation
One of the most important lessons we teach is that championship habits are rooted in appreciation.
Whether it’s:
-
Taking pride in how you wear your uniform
-
Supporting your teammates with positive energy
-
Arriving early to practice with a focused attitude
…it all stems from respecting the opportunity you have in front of you.
At MADE Baseball, we encourage players to control the controllables — focusing on their effort, mindset, and daily habits, not external outcomes. (Learn more about our MADEisms philosophy here.)
Developing Champions for Life
The MADE path is about creating athletes who aren’t just successful on the field, but who lead in school, work, and life.
Championship habits are life habits — and that’s why everything we teach is designed to build players and leaders who last well beyond the final out.
💥 “You don’t become MADE overnight — you become MADE EVEryday.”
