    My next door neighbor has young boys who are obsessed with baseball and I texted her saying we should have a #WCWS watch party so we can show them what softball is all about and she said they're already watching. I love this game. 🥲

    Before you attack a college softball player on social media for not playing to your perfect standards, especially on the game’s biggest stage of the #WCWS…just don’t.

    Yes, college athletes and coaches are suffering from this pandemic... ...but their support staff is likely feeling empty, too. Check in on the team behind the teams like: athletic trainers, advisors, admins, performance coaches, psychologists and SID's. They were all-in, too.

    Earlham's freshman short stop Cora Boyle just got her face ripped open by a cleat, but she bounces right up, gets it cleaned out and goes right back to work. Softball players are tough. #iahssb

    Softball peeps. SUPPORT SOFTBALL BY WATCHING SOFTBALL. 🥎

    Try not to forget...softball is SO much more than home runs. They're great, but not EVERYTHING.

    Hey athletes, don’t play so you can get noticed…play because you love it.

    In Kentucky, the classiest way to congratulate @UMCoachHutch for breaking records is in fact a bottle of @WoodfordReserve 🥃 #epic @UKsoftball @umichsoftball

    In honor of my 30th b-day this week, I wanted to share 30 things I wish I could tell younger Ash: 1 - Being different is a good thing. Embrace it. 2 - Stay Awkward. 3 - Stop caring what other people think of you. If your grandma likes you, you're doing great 😉 ..cont.

    You get recruited based on potential…don’t waste a minute thinking you’re guaranteed anything. Keep working.

    Travel coaches…If a DREAM SCHOOL of one of your athletes is in the stands watching your team and you don’t give her any opportunities, you are failing that athlete.
