Good Evening Everyone! I hope this message finds you all well. It’s been some very crazy times. I feel very bad for the volleyball girls as you continue to wait and see. I hope you are able to move forward with your season!

As of today there has been some breaking news involving fall and spring sports from the MHSAA.

MHSAA:

“Spring sports are allowed 16 dates for fall workouts. However, this does not start until Sept. 8th.” Per the MHSAA

This means that we can fully hold practices in the fall starting September 8th, with full team workouts on our softball field.

I am looking to get info about if this is something our young ladies and parents want to do before I go forth and figure out a schedule and such. I also want to be clear that the only way I do workouts this fall is if we have buy in and people who are willing to dedicate themselves to getting better. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time especially mine.

Before I go any further I need to know two things:

1. Who plans to play softball with the new schedule that could have softball starting in May of 2021 and ending July 2021?

2. Who is interested in doing workouts?

I need others added to the group that I do not have here so that I can get as close to adequate feedback as possible.

Those not in the Group as of now are:

Jordyn Klimp or Jonica
Emily Drobny
Sam Demott
Caitlyn Gregg
Katie Bradshaw
Melina Ragotzy

Please add them and parents if possible.

I look forward to hearing g back from from everyone!

If possible join our instant messenger chat group!

I have one girl that honestly contacts me everyday during this lockdown/ quarantine and tells me what she is doing!

If she reads this she knows who she is! She is the 1% player that any program would kill to have! She is the player that knows that anything she does on her own will make her better! She is the player that is intrinsically motivated and has goals and aspirations, and knows the only person in control of her destiny, is her!

- She works out
- watches videos
- studies the game
- goes above and beyond even when it’s not expected

She is the 1% athlete that I love having in my program. She is the 1% player that I’ll have to look her in the eyes when her career is over and know she gave it everything when others did not!

Some players will say:

1. But we are quarantined we can’t do anything
2. Softball season is over so what does it matter
3. This is my time off
4. No one else is doing anything

These are all excuses........... Excuses will get you nowhere!

I thank this particular young lady for continuing to be the 1% player that I love getting messages from daily about what she has done! Keep up the good work! (You know who you are 👍)
