Jayci Kitchen

I’m excited to announce that I have verbally committed to Taylor University to further my athletic and academic career. Thank you to my parents and family who are my biggest supporters, my coaches and teammates, and the entire Blazer Nation! @TU_Softball #BlazerPride

Congratulations to Junior Lucy Kitchen, she has set the record for assists in Eastside Lady Blazer history for a season with 137 and counting. The previous record was 135 set by Nici Stuery (Kessler) 1995-96

Building more than just physical strength with @ESBlazersSoccer today! 💪⚽️ Focused on mental toughness — defining it and what it looks like on and off the field. Big shoutout to our leaders Lucy and Stella for leading the way in this powerful discussion! @BlazersEastside #OwnIt

With @ehsblazersball today, we discussed what it means to be a great teammate! What qualities do you want in a teammate? Great teammates are CONNECTED, COMMITTED, and COMPOSED! #OwnIt #BlazerPride @BrennenKitchen

What is mental toughness? Today @taylorusoftball defined what that means to them, and what mental toughness looks like ON and OFF the field. Adversity, obstacles, and difficult moments aren’t optional. But you can choose how you respond! Make your mindset your advantage! #OwnIt

CONNECTION. COMMITMENT. COMPOSURE. @ehsblazersball spent the week discussing team culture and today decided their core team values for the 2025 season! Culture is EVERYTHING! #OwnIt @BrennenKitchen @EastsideScores

Working with @TaylorUSoftball today on what it means to be a great teammate! A great teammate is positive, compassionate, committed, but most of all…SELFLESS! If the team wins, everyone wins! Thankful for this opportunity to work with (and be around) such great people!

@ESBlazersSoccer wrote appreciation letters to DKE staff members for Leadership week! Pictured below is senior Lilli Cline with teacher and football coach Alyx Brandewie. Thank you Mr. Brandewie and the rest of the DKE staff for having a positive impact on our student-athletes!

Great teammates fight for one another, hold each other accountable, and show compassion and empathy. But most of all… great teammates are SELFLESS! They find ways to put the team’s needs before their own needs! #TeamBeforeMe #OwnIt #BlazerPride @ESBlazersSoccer

Excited to work with @ESBlazersSoccer for the second year in a row! After wrapping up mental health week, the team finished with some yoga! Yoga is a great exercise to help improve mental health! #YourMentalHealthMatters #OwnIt #BlazerPride

Congrats to Jayci Kitchen and Moyra McAtee for representing Eastside Softball at the SCAI North/South All-Star weekend in Bloomington! #BlazerPride #BeUnbreakable @SCAIndiana @jayci_kitchen @momosoftball17

@OwnIt_MST So thankful to have had the opportunity to work with these teams and athletes! Forever a Blazer! #OwnIt #BlazerPride

Over the course of the 2023-24 school year, “Own It” has worked directly and indirectly with 6 different jr high and high school sports teams. Thank you coaches for this opportunity! The mental game doesn’t stop! You are so much more than an athlete! #OwnIt #MoreThanAnAthlete

@BlazerSoftball0 wearing green in honor of May and Mental Health Awareness Month! Mental health is just as important as physical health. Your self-worth is not tied to athletic performance, and your mental health matters! You are NEVER alone!💚 #OwnIt #BreakTheStigma

Always 100 Spring Bling 9th-grade gold division all-tournament team! @M_B_A_Bball @Always100_TMH

Great start to Mental Training for @apachebaseball7! The team completed the “Team Bracket Challenge” to help define their culture. Positive culture leads to positive results! #OwnIt #Culture @FairviewApaches

Busy two weeks for @BlazerSoftball0! The team decided on FAMILY for their “one-word” for the 2024 season. Check out the video linked below to hear what FAMILY means to these girls! #BeUnbreakable #FAMILY #BlazerPride @EastsideScores @BrennenKitchen youtu.be/47kI16TPYJE?fe…

Wrapped up “Culture Week” with @BlazerSoftball0 Friday. Bottom line, you can bring stress and negativity to those around you, or you can bring positivity and encouragement. The choice is yours. Don’t be a germ, be the Vitamin C! Own you mindset, own your energy, own your impact.

Finished up Week 1 of MST today, the girls met in their “OWN IT” groups to discuss individual goals and accountability! It takes sacrifice and discipline to reach our goals! Get 1% better each day! @BlazerSoftball0 @EastsideScores #OwnIt #BeUnbreakable

No better way to start off MST with @BlazerSoftball0 than with “Setting Goals” week! Each day is a stepping stone to get better and work towards our goals! #OwnIt #BlazerPride #BeUnbreakable

Great meeting tonight with @SC_Select talking about confidence and handling pressure! “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” -Henry Ford Choose to be positive and confident! #OwnIt #Confidence #SelfTalk
