When you put that jersey on, what is the most important thing to you?

It's very important for parents as well to know their athlete is taken care of. They need the coach to also look out for the overall well being of their athlete. Emotions are real when it comes to leaving home for the first time.

When looking for where you want to play college softball, there is much more to look at than the softball program. Don't get me wrong, it's very important, BUT Do they have your major? Would you enjoy living in that city? What does life outside of softball look like? Much more

Good luck to all the teams playing today!
Take one AB at a time
Don't let one strikeout or error determine the rest of your game
Leave it all on the field
Most importantly have fun! Softball is the greatest sport and you GET to play

Coaches, please be sure to let your players know you undoubtedly care about them. We were given a reminder today that yes we love the game but it’s bigger than softball…it always is.

Back to where it all starts. Continued to be reminded that all athletes have to start somewhere

Smart base running 🔥🔥🔥
Take advantage of situations when you can. Don't wait for something to happen, MAKE something happen

The little things you do when the coach isn't watching.
Set yourself apart!
Coach Jennifer Turner@CAASoftballAdv
You can separate yourself from 50% of the competition just by doing the things many athletes stop doing after a while: Showing up consistently. Working hard even when no one is watching. Doing the extra reps. Taking care of your body. Being coachable. Consistency alone puts you ahead of half the field.

Are you the ONE teammate?
Greg Berge@GregBerge
One teammate can change everything. The tone, the standard, the energy, the belief. Be the ONE.

It's easy to say you are coachable.
But are you really coachable?
The primary responsibility of a coach is to coach!
If a coach is addressing or working on something with an athlete it's for the betterment of the athlete.
Greg Berge@GregBerge
When you say “Ya, but…” you stop learning. Drop the excuses. Listen. Adjust. Improve. Coachability separates good from great.

Interesting thought when it comes to having 2 strikes
Expand the zone, be aggressive and don't give an umpire the chance to ring you up

Hitters with 2 strikes… Just an honest question to think about: Do you think an umpire is more likely to want to punch you out on a borderline strike, or call it a ball? 🤔 Your answer to this should be a huge indication of how you should approach 2 strike counts! Just an FYI, many umps like the spotlight as well, and that’s their best time to shine #BaseballTruth
