When I was an NCAA athlete I slept in my workout clothes for the next day to make 6 A.M. weights. Then went to class. Then practice. Then study hall. Then back to the field to work. Then the library for homework. All in the same grey shirt and blue shorts 😂

I was perusing your Instagram and happened to notice there’s zero posts about college softball that millions of people are currently watching on your networks 🙆🏼♀️ so weird right??

,
you inspired the entire country. you gave everyone a chance to dream big and to believe. you walked into the biggest stage like you were the biggest dog in the fight and because of that, you were.
My dad always told me “if you don’t want to talk about the bad games/practices then we’re not going to talk about the good ones either”
Those tough rides home are the reason I am where I am.
Do you blame teachers when you score poorly on a test even though you know you didn’t study as hard as you could’ve???
That’s like blaming a coach for not playing when you didn’t work as hard as you could’ve to EARN a spot.
ok bye
happy Mother’s Day to my mom who never cared if I was 0-3 or 3-3 but did care if I’d brushed my hair that day because we can’t be having bad game day hair
I’m not judging you as a person but I just wonder if you’ve ever played a sport.
Imagine if what you’ve dedicated your ENTIRE EXISTENCE TO just ended, on terms other than your own. To see things you’ve worked your LIFE for not come to fruition.
Sports are not just a game.
dear softball parents who bring their kids to lessons:
please put your phone down and watch your kids. every time they hit a good ball they look up to see if you’re watching and it’s so easy to see the disappointment they feel when they notice you didn’t see it
today for the first time ever, college softball will be played on ABC. tune in at 12 pm PST to be a part of the amazing growth that is happening in our sport
Wisconsin coach Greg Gard and Michigan coach Juwan Howard confronted each other after their game.
A brawl broke out and a Badgers assistant coach was struck in the face.

i just watched a man pick up my glove and look at it and then proceed to stick his man hand in it
the violation is real and i am now in need of a new glove
I can’t stop thinking about the Arizona - Harvard broadcasting: a thread
As a former D1 mid-major player I’ll tell you we absolutely knew we weren’t supposed to beat the big-time teams, but it never made us any less proud to be at our chosen university.
For those of you that know me you know I spend 98% of the time happy and laughing and goofing off and swinging at pitches out of the strike zone.
The other 2% of the time I am fired up as all heck about the following topic:
PLAYING SOFTBALL IN COLLEGE
A thread.
if u loved watching college softball guess what? u can watch pro softball in august! so just sit tight kiddies..more entertainment to come am I right or what
@AUProSports
I do NOT support the comments made by
@ScrapYardFP
and I will not associate myself with an organization that stands by those beliefs. BLACK LIVES MATTER. I will not be spoken for on this issue and I am appalled that after a game I was blindsided by something so disheartening.
as a hitter i hate saying this but i hope all you young pitchers out there are seeing HOW IMPORTANT it is to have a great changeup. i swear even if you only have a fastball that you can place and a wicked changeup you will be SO SUCCESSFUL
dear parents/coaches,
please stop ridiculing your players on the field. i promise you it’s counterproductive. try teaching them instead of trying to embarrass them for being a human who makes mistakes.
bye.
these “upsets” hype me up man & now more than ever these kids get to see more and more schools play on tv and WIN making them realize hm maybe I have more options for college ball
dear softball coaches,
plz work on base running. it’s a great disservice to the game to neglect base running. let’s take some extra bases and see the ball down and for goodness sakes STOP RUNNING A QUESTION MARK DOWN THE FIRST BASE LINE ON A BASE HIT
bye
i hope u guys understand what it means that some pro softball players were able to sign a 2 year contract. in a sport with SO MUCH uncertainty and constant wondering what next season will look like, we now have the hope of stability and security
the same people criticizing the
@ArizonaWBB
head coach for dropping an F bomb to her team are the same people getting hyped when a male athlete yells “let’s f**king go” to his teammates or the fans 🙄
someone said to me “why are you still training if you’re potentially not going to have a season”
can someone explain this question to me because i don’t understand what it means
my favorite difference between the mlb off-season and the pro softball off-season is that those guys get to go on vacation and into some serious R&R and we go back to our other 3 jobs😇🥹
here’s why i’m anti bat flip: the swag is hitting the homerun in itself. it’s a hard thing to do especially in a pressure situation so it’s swaggy af to put a ball out of the park. my view is to act like you have done it before
Therapist: and what do we tell ourselves after swinging at yet another ball 3 feet over our head
Me: just keep swimming
Therapist: that’s actually not bad
i feel like i am nice to umpires because they are human and i wouldn’t want to do their job BUT BE BETTER ??????? how can we be in the most elite time of season and get not only bad calls but INCORRECT rule calls
So we should all reflect on this and think, what are we telling these current college players as well as the future of college softball???
Here’s what I’d like to say:
PICK THE SCHOOL THAT IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU AND YOUR GOALS AND PLAY YOUR DAMN HEART OUT.
to all the people who are now all of a sudden “worried” for women’s sports because of the inclusion of transgender policies, where were you “caring” about women’s sports before? why all of a sudden now???
