just pissed off a very dangerous

team. Playing with a chip on your shoulder may be the best secret ingredient for success in post season 🥴😬
Hey
@espn
let’s work on getting a commentator who knows what they are talking about!? Missouri hitter pulling a ball about 300 ft does not mean she’s “super late”… know the game. Would not happen in baseball.
Idk if it’s the lack of softball we’ve had from last year or something is in the water, but this year is absolutely INSANE! And I’m loving every minute of it.
Youth sports, like softball and baseball tournaments need to stop giving out “championship rings” for participation and the championship games. I’m sorry but those Championship rings are for big tournaments and national level outings. These types of things need to hold value.
I need to see ALL of the 2020 teams and players back out on that field in 2021.
@NCAAsoftball
come on and do the right thing here. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors need this back. It’s not just one person. It’s everyone. We are ONE
The doors that are opening for Mid-Majors is absolutely amazing. I cannot wait to see “smaller” schools turn their programs into national competitors! JMU has always been a scary school to play against and I’m so excited I see the domino effect this season has started !
Wow what a freaking weekend for
@JMUSoftball
and
@MizzouSoftball
so much respect for both of these teams. And yes…I am sitting here crying for JMU. First in program history is so special!
This past year of coaching travel ball has been one of the more challenging things I’ve done. Not because of the kids, but strictly because of the parents! They are all trophy chasers and don’t care about developing their kids for the future! It’s so sad for our sport.
I often get asked why there aren’t more ex college players from a high level coaching travelball. BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO DEAL WITH ALL THE CRAP. Why would they? Why should they have to defend themselves on what they know by a dad who never made varsity.
Just a little note to high school coaches/youth travel coaches. If one of your players has an opportunity to go (and not miss games) watch college or pro games/practices, do not penalize them for going. But instead encourage them as they increase their knowledge of the game.

Y’all I am so freaking pumped sitting here watching softball on

and watching me friends kill it! Can’t wait to get my body right so I can come back next season and be a part of this amazing

Seeing how hard
@LChamberlain44
is working for our sport almost brings me to tears. I don’t think there are enough words of appreciation to express how much she cares for us. You are loved Lo❣️🤟🏼
I am and will continue to believe that a pitcher who trusts her gut and her pitches who’s also able to execute needs to shake off a pitch they don’t trust in that moment. If I’m going to get beat by a hitter, I want them to beat my best stuff.
The last time I was on the same field playing against LSU I was a freshman in college and was hurt. Today I was still in the dugout but in a much more beneficial role, as a coach. This game is truly amazing 🤟🏼🌶
Thank you UW for all that you have given me, thank you to our unwavering fans for continuous love and support. Thank you to my coaches for believing in me, even in the hardest of times and thank you to my teammates,…
I can’t love this enough. So many coaches are scared of pushing their players and going the extra mile in practice to make the challenges of this game easier to deal with and understand. You can’t take off days and make excuses and expect to win! Keep learning, keep grinding!

There is so much hurt in this world right now. There is so much loss. Our friends, our family, our neighbors near and far hurt in so many ways. Please love your people hard. Because you never know when it’s the last time.

My iCloud really just made a video from my photos titled “My time in Seattle” and it has me over here ugly crying in the Walmart parking lot those 4 years were some of the best times of my life and I would give anything to relive them even for a day.
Woke up this morning exhausted, sore and absolutely GRATEFUL. Looking at this Gold medal still feels like a dream. Having the honor of bringing gold back to Puerto Rico for the SECOND time is absolutely unreal. Tanto amor por mi hermosa isla🥇🇵🇷
You think your hunger and fire for something is enough to keep you going. Until life makes you take a back seat. Then you realize there’s a whole different level that you are able to dip into to overcome anything that comes your way. It’s called Faith.

No words to describe how much I love Gabs and how proud I am of her! I got the unbelievable opportunity to share the mound with not just an Olympian, but even better person🤟🏼💜
Some Huskies are taking the big stage this summer. 🤩

Catch more of Pac-12 On The Road in Washington leading up to tomorrow’s The Pregame on us.
Can someone please explain to me how I am 22 years old, and have traveled completely across the world, but still have yet to see New York? And I’ve lived like 8 hours from it my whole life?? Literally just flew over it and I’m so mad at myself lol
Today is the day we’ll have our first college softball game on ABC!
Watch it, DVR it, tweet about it - do all the things - because this is a huge opportunity!
Plus.....it’s an elimination game for Washington & Sis Bates, one of the game’s greatest short stops of all time.

barely had time to reflect on their college careers before they were off to the NPF. Now, just over a week after playing in the
#WCWS
, they are transitioning to life as pro softball players. (and killing it, btw.)
I guess the only good thing about the quarantine is that my mom doesn’t let me go to the grocery store with her because she knows I have absolutely no self control when it comes to Reece’s eggs.....but like also, can someone send me some?
What means more to an athlete than a “participation trophy” are the lessons that come from our failures. When we fall short we have to learn to get back up and come back better. Not an award for our failures but a lesson learned. These are so much more valuable.
March 30th. A date I want people to remember and pay attention to!! Some of the best players in college softball get to extend their playing career! So amazing for the Seniors that get to experience this! 🧡
