    This beautiful game brought an incredible group of people together. They left it all on the field for each other. Always hard to have a season like this one come to an end, but eternally grateful to have this team and what they have meant to me and my family ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ–ค

    If you are able to be on a softball field right now, with your team, with a teammate, with a parent, or sibling, or friend - if you are able to be doing softball in any capacity right now: Savor every single rep. Nothing is guaranteed. Let yourself experience joy in the game.

    2024s: donโ€™t give up. The dream didnโ€™t start on Sept 1 of last year and it doesnโ€™t end now for those who genuinely love this game. Whatever your situation, pursue the life and experience that you want. The story is still being written.

    To the coaches out there recruiting and leaving their babies at home to find new members of your program family - sending love your way โค๏ธ

    Your commitment to a University and a softball program is really a commitment to yourself. How will you conduct your business to earn that opportunity every day after? Getting the call is just the beginning. What you do with it is everything.

    We wonder why athletes struggle with intrinsic motivation but continue to subjectively rank and then promote the rankings of 7th graders. Youth sports culture needs a serious athlete-centered reboot. Letโ€™s make it better.

    Why are we awarding preseason pitcher of the year, offensive player or defensive play of the year? Not one pitch has been thrown. Athletes: Letting someone else set expectations for you is the first step to an unfulfilling career. Be in the moment, win the next pitch.
