Cannot think of a better fit of athlete and program. Eastern CT is getting an absolute gamer and I am so proud of this kid. Congrats to the Tuirok family. Go Warriors! 💙♥️🤍

2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ and counting‼️ Congratulations to head coach Laura Valentino on reaching her 200th career win! #WEbeforeme

Congrats to @haileyvigneau26 and @SamanthaSell26 on their win and 50th game as a high school battery. Cannot say I am pleased about the outcome, but always proud of both of you! Way to be Elite, ladies. 🖤🩶🤍

Always love watching Haley pitch and Meekins at the plate. @EricRueb will have his hands full this year trying to follow all the talent across the state.

As we roll into HS softball season, this is good advice.

At the college level, sometimes you gotta create your own role to contribute. Be the best teammate you can be. instagram.com/reel/DV_kVAqie…

Coaches, this kid works/plays hard and is a great teammate—always hear her voice no matter where she is on the field. Cannot say enough good things about her, including that I hate coaching against her b/c of her compete level.

Coaches, watch out for this kid. 2030 catcher with skills beyond her years…you might not believe your 👀.

Aim high…work hard. Results speak for themselves. 🖤🩶🤍

🚨 WHEN A COLLEGE COACH IS AT YOUR GAME… READ THIS 🚨 It’s not just another tournament. It’s not just another at-bat. It’s not just about stats. When a college coach is on the fence, you are being evaluated on everything. Not just the swing. Not just the throw. Not just the 60 time. EVERYTHING. They are watching: 👀 Your body language after you strike out 👀 Your reaction when you boot a ground ball 👀 How you respond to a bad call 👀 How you support your teammates 👀 How you carry yourself between innings 👀 Your hustle on routine plays 👀 Your focus when the ball isn’t hit to you They’re asking themselves: Is she steady under pressure? Does she think the game or just react to it? Can she adjust pitch to pitch? Does she know where the next play is before it happens? Is she coachable? Is she competitive without being chaotic? Because here’s the truth: College coaches recruit BODY LANGUAGE. They recruit GAME IQ. They recruit LEADERSHIP. They recruit MATURITY. The physical tools might get their attention. The small details earn the offer. So when you see that coach behind the backstop… Don’t play tight. Don’t play for stats. Don’t play for one moment. Show them how athletic you are. Take the risks. The athletes who separate themselves at the next level? They dominate the tiny details. And coaches always notice.

“It’s too hard” can’t be part of your lexicon as a serious athlete. Find a way… instagram.com/reel/DUKUsVnAG…

As college softball season gets closer, I want you watching games with intention — not just as a fan, but as a student of the game. Every inning is an opportunity to learn. Every pitch tells a story. Here’s what I hope you’re paying attention to when you watch 👀👇 When you watch college softball, watch for: • How players compete when things aren’t going their way Bad calls. Tough innings. Errors. Notice who stays steady and who spirals. • Body language between pitches and between plays Confidence is quiet. Watch how elite athletes carry themselves even after failure. • Communication Infield chatter. Dugout energy. Pitcher–catcher connection. This matters more than you think. • Tempo and pace of play College softball moves fast. Notice how prepared players are before the ball is hit. • Defensive urgency Every rep matters. No jogging. No coasting. Effort is non-negotiable. • How hitters adjust Early swings vs late swings. What changes after strike one? After an out? After an at-bat doesn’t go their way? • Situational awareness Score. Outs. Runners. Count. Great players always know the situation. • Coach–player interactions Corrections, encouragement, accountability. This tells you a lot about program culture. • The little things Backups. Cutoffs. Hustle on and off the field. These are the details coaches notice. Watching with intention helps you play with intention. If you want to play at the next level, stop watching passively. Watch like a future college athlete. Learn like one. Prepare like one. Everything you do in this process should be intentional — including how you watch the game.

Kids exit your program as excellent players. More importantly they develop leadership skills and academic prowess. Championships are byproduct of that process, not the objective. Haters gonna hate, coach. Still think our Patriots have an edge this year!🤍🖤

Are you ready for the season?

Love this quote: “excellence is found in the mundane”. Let that sink in as we continue winter workouts and let it replenish your understanding of what it takes to succeed. 🖤🩶🤍instagram.com/p/DTK78f8DkpH/…

@Bella454500 @biankabell27 @_kathayyy @BryantSoftball @BombersElite Kid is a general behind the plate and an absolute dirt dog. Throws harder than most pitchers. No one better in RI to run your defense and manage your pitchers. Coaches, take notice.

Today I went to the Bryant University Camp. I had an absolutely amazing experience! I learned from the athletes, Coach B, & Coach Kat. I also learned about Dawg mentality! I’m so excited to see the future‼️Go Bulldogs‼️🤍💛 @biankabell27 @_kathayyy @BryantSoftball @BombersElite

Bob Knight shares the 4 ingredients of discipline. "My definition of discipline: Do what has to be done, when it has to be done, as well as it can be done - and do it that way all the time." Discipline is not a moment - it's something you choose for yourself. 1: Do what has to be done → Action Know the task. Execute the task. No excuses. 2: When it has to be done → Timing Procrastination is the enemy. Deadlines aren't suggestions. 3: As well as it can be done → Standard Not halfway. Not good enough. As well as it can be done. 4: Do it that way all the time → Consistency Not when it's easy. Not when you're motivated. All the time. Discipline is choosing temporary discomfort for long-term reward. It's a commitment to yourself - and holding yourself to it. (🎥 Prepare to Win 1996)
