Saltillo Softball lost an awesome young lady. Our hearts are hurting but we can smile during these tough times because of the impact that Janiya had on all of us. We will miss you!!!

Happy birthday @katwallace12! #HailState🐶

@chuckbox1969 Do you have an example of your tough Fridays?

We also included this information flyer along with a tentative fall and spring schedule. Instead of having one large parent meeting we had a breakfast meeting in August with each class.

Many of you are entering into "tryout" season. Regardless of when you hold tryouts, it is a critical to communicate from the beginning with parents to set the expectations for your program. This is an example of a letter we sent when we welcomed a family into our HS program.

Being a Head Coach is Hard. Unless you have done it, you do not understand. Here are 8 Realities that All Head Coaches Face: 1: It will consume you. Coaching is more than just a job - it's a way of life. You'll spend countless hours planning practices, analyzing game film, and strategizing for the next game. It can consume you. But when you see your team succeed, it makes it all worth it. 2: There will always be critics. No matter your success, people will always criticize your decisions and strategies. Even w/State Championship Teams. Know and Accept this. Always remember that you know your team better than anyone, and your goal is to do what's best for them. 3: You are not in it for the money. Coaching does not usually pay well, but it's not about the money. Don't calculate your hourly wage. It is a calling. A lifestyle. It's about the love of the game and helping young athletes grow and develop into their full potential. 4: There is no overnight success. Building a successful team takes time, patience, & dedication. There will be ups and downs, but if you stay the course, you'll see the results. Always remember that your #1 job is to Build Culture. Play the long game with Culture. 5: You need a supportive spouse. This should be #1 on the list for many! Coaching can put a strain on your family Having a spouse who understands and supports your passion is CRITICAL. Make sure to take the time to show your appreciation and give back whenever possible. 6: You will not make everyone happy. As a coach, you will make tough decisions that not everyone will agree with. This happens A LOT. But remember, you're in it for the benefit of the TEAM, not just one individual. You will NEVER make everyone happy. 7: You can't want it more than the kids. As a coach, you can inspire & motivate your players, but ultimately, they have to want it. This can be hard for a younger coach. Encourage them to work hard & set goals. Let them take ownership of their own success. 8: It is still WORTH it! Despite the challenges, being a coach is incredibly rewarding! Watching your players grow & develop into strong, confident young adults is one of the best feelings in the world. Watching a team grow is very rewarding. Always remember WHY you coach. -Sam Cannon

@chuckbox1969 Would you mind sharing your player evaluation form?

As high school tryout season approaches for many coaches this is something that may help. This is a copy of the information letter we would send out to our families when a player was chosen to be a part of our program.

We would like to give a shout out to these businesses who donated items for our goodie baskets: Bank of Brookhaven, Shop N Wash, Farm Bureau, Ole Brook Nutrition, KDMC, Expectations, Bromas, Janie’s. Also a huge thank you to our parents for putting these together! We love you!
