@SoftballPortal
Often I see players who were young “studs” become “average” players that peaked. Their best playing days have passed. In contrast I see overlooked “average” players improving and surpassing the “studs” of yesterday. Reminder: yesterdays achievements do not ensure todays success.
Not sure which

coach this is. I had to stop him and take a pic of his shirt😁. People often say “we put too much pressure on kids”. While that’s true in some cases I wonder, if maybe we should talk thru pressure with young people? Feeling pressure in your life
Great job Zoe and Krystin fo sure play not even possible if your outie's weak.

When we are in the middle of crazy club ball season we need to remember it’s just a game and there’s more going on in the world than balls and strike, playing time or wins and losses. Prayers for Karli
@Los_Stuff
@ExtraInningSB
I am asking for all our softball family to please pray fervently for beautiful Karli
She has played on our 14u team since she was 7 and was hit by a car last night leaving a fireworks show. She is still unresponsive. She needs God’s divine healing.She needs a miracle Fight Karli
Used to say “hard work pays off” now I say “There WILL be people who work less and receive more. Continue to work hard to build your character. PERSEVERANCE will pay off.”

Not all success club programs are huge, national entities... Select Fastpitch out of Kansas City wins with having a smaller, family culture type atmosphere. Here's how it works...
When you have been at a ball field since 2 weeks old, you learn a lot about watching your sisters play softball . One thing she learned is how to swing a bat from

I get overwhelmed by the corruption in youth sports. From greedy money hungry club directors to power hungry coaches to entitled selfish players being given accolades and awards to the parents who enable entitlement. I’ve question why do what I do? Here is an example of my “why”
I laid with you on the field that day and promised this would make you stronger! 5 months to the day you had a 5 hour surgery and are better and stronger than ever! You are an inspiration to everyone you meet and nothing will stop you!

@RhondaRevelle
couldn’t be happier for your program but more so for you as a coach! You are one of the good ones! Can’t wait to watch what unfolds! GBR!
Don’t EVER underestimate the importance of a TRUE outfielder! More than having speed. You gotta be able to track a ball, time a dive or jump for a game changing catch and don’t forget the ability to throw rockets
@hayliemac8
@Wass_Strength
KEEP scheduling outfield clinics!
Agreed. I was a huge fan of Caitlin. Then my daughter came to me and said “Mom how can you be a Caitlin fan? She does everything you taught your players and children not to do. Whines about every call, talks back to the refs, rude to other team and crowds, rude to her teammates
Caitlin Clark is a talented basketball player, but her behavior during this tournament has been disappointing. We need athletes to set good examples for young people, and CC had the opportunity to be a positive role model but fell short.
It’s not just her, players in all sports
These are the type of things we need to highlight more! In the day and age of transfer portal and NIL craziness this type of news worth generosity in the athletic community is refreshing!

I get DM’s from parents that struggle to pay for club ball expenses or worse invested thousands into a club they were loyal to just for their kid to be replaced by an out of state “stud” who doesn’t have to pay or gets fees reduced. There’s got to be a better way!

coach Tony Vitello said he'd like a system where a pot goes into a family fund for postseason travel, so it's not as tough for players' families to come support their kids.
He said enough people are making enough money out of this to help the players' families.
@DelanieRoeder
Happy Birthday! I'm amazed at your discipline, courage, loyalty, leadership by example and overall growth in your character. You have the ability to do anything you put your mind to. Stay humble in achievements and learn through your failures.
