Yes. All of this hits home.
It's so much more and most of you will never understand it.

Be the example.





The cleats will come off for the last time one day. 😫🥎

🥎❤️ BEING A COACH IS SO MUCH MORE THAN TEACHING A GAME.

As a softball coach, I wear a lot of hats. Some days I’m a teacher. Some days I’m a motivator. Some days I’m a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to, or the person reminding a young girl that she is capable of SO much more than she believes.

And I wouldn’t trade any of it.

Because the truth is, I’m not just coaching softball players. I’m helping shape young women.

I get to watch little girls who once doubted themselves grow into confident athletes. I get to see the girl who struggled finally figure it out. I get to celebrate the victories that nobody else sees. The extra reps, the tears, the frustration, the moments when quitting would have been easier, but they chose to keep going.

And sometimes, the biggest wins have absolutely NOTHING to do with what happens on that softball field.

It’s watching a girl find her voice. Learn to believe in herself. Handle failure. Stand up for herself. Become a leader. Realize that one bad game, one mistake, or one person’s opinion does NOT define who she is.

Because one day, the cleats will come off for the last time.

The games will end. The trophies will collect dust. The stats will be forgotten.

But the confidence, discipline, friendships, lessons, and memories? Those will follow these girls long after they’re done playing.

And if years from now, one of my girls looks back and remembers that I believed in her when she didn’t believe in herself, then I’ve done something far more important than teaching her how to throw a pitch or swing a bat.

I don’t take it lightly when parents trust me with their daughters. And I hope every girl I’ve ever coached knows that I will always be rooting for you, whether you’re standing on a softball field or chasing dreams that have nothing to do with this sport.

I may be their coach for only a small chapter of their lives, but I hope the impact lasts a lifetime.

Because at the end of the day, I don’t just want to develop better softball players. I want to help develop stronger, more confident young women who know their worth!!!

And THAT is why I coach.

We volunteered to help with the Miracle league and to say that it was a success would be an understatement.

These ladies went above and beyond my expectations and I couldn't be any more proud of them. We will absolutely volunteer again.

This. It's not just the athlete, it's the whole family. 👏👐
No one wants to deal with all of the extra.

Message from anonymous college coach:
I was at a recruiting tournament this weekend and the things that made me walk away from games where I was watching kids I was interested in recruiting were:
1. Parents screaming from the sidelines at umpires and girls on the field (including their own child).
2. Kids leaving the dugout. Running to their parents during the game and talking about coaching decisions, umpires, and asking for special treatment and snacks during the game from their parents. (This might sound harsh, but I don’t want a kid who runs to their parents and complains about everything and needs to be coddled during the game).
3. Dirty looks towards umpires and talking back to umpires.
4. Inability to recover after a strikeout, hard inning, or call they didn’t agree with.
5. Lack of hustle. Walking everywhere and talking back to coaches or treating teammates disrespectfully.
We recruit the family and the athlete. We recruit attitude and effort. We recruit athletes who can recover after failure and push through mistakes. We recruit athletes that keep working hard when things get hard or when a play or call doesn’t go their way. We recruit grit and athleticism, mixed with knowledge of the game. We recruit kids who don’t give up and blame others for their circumstances. We recruit kids who run out pop-ups and don’t give up on the play. We recruit kids who recover! We recruit kids who lead! We recruit kids who want to COMPETE!
If you want to be recruited, be present for every play and every action performed on the field. You never know who’s watching in the stands.
