Sept 1st approaches, so does Sept 2nd & the rest of the days in the calendar year. Coach P’s 3 rules to recruiting: 1. Work hard & treat everyday as a recruiting opportunity! 2. Go with the Coach that loves you Vs the Coach that likes you! 3. A good uniform is a dirty uniform!🥎

- Softball recruits remember this as U consider your options. Understand the difference between the coach & program that loves you & the coach & program that likes you. The coach & program that says they have to have you Vs the one that says it would be nice to have U. #Difference

- Stop complaining about your coaches, your playing time, your practices, your tiring schedule. Play the game with the same effort and passion. Appreciate the opportunity to play the game with the same effort and passion. When your done playing the game, walk away without regrets.
- Anyone who has ever played for me knows that I stand by this quote. I have had to endure both the best and worst that life has to offer. You just have to keep punching back and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Coach P 🥎👊💪🙏
- Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! I hope you have a great holiday season! Coach P celebrated with a new grandson Jordan and a new puppy Millie! 🌴🌲🎁
