Just curious, 👀ing NCAA Baseball and why is it okay for the guys to come out of the dugout in foul ground to celebrate a home run, but in softball no one can leave the dugout or the HC gets a warning/ejection on

“Oh coach she is D1... "
So are a lot of young women on D2 programs who are leaving a legacy of greatness.
Celebrated, loved, raised, and wanted....
Freaking D2 life rocks man...

Rolling into another signing day. I re-post this every year and it is still true. This post is all the stuff that is "unwritten" on that NLI and is expected of you. Best of luck to all of you ladies who have signed or will be signing this month.

If you quit your travel ball team because your coach is "too demanding" of you and just want to have fun...
But expect to play college softball for a coach who actually gets paid (not completely but yeah) to win ball games...

1. Quit ranking 12-14 year olds.
2. Quit pressing them about "recruitment" in 14u
3. Quit pressuring them the be “D1"
4. Make sure young women know their worth isn't dependent on the amount of offers they have and who those offers are.

Is there really any reason that softball players, who just got finished with summer season in August, are playing every weekend till December?
Perhaps some rest, ACT/SAT tests, maybe a visit or two, and a camp or two at a school they really want to attend???

Softball knowledge
Grades
Fit
Need
Guts
Commitment level

How about you play the game of softball because you genuinely love it? How about you grind to be the best because that's what the game and youe teammates deserve? The scholarship isn't the goal...the opportunity to continue playing the game you can't live without is...

PSA to recruits: keep balling out. It's been a tough year, it is hot outside, and the game is awesome.
Have a little fun!

Just a thought...
If you know you want to stay within 3 hours of home, why would you start a recruiting relationship with a coach outside your circle....then decide it is too far after they show real interest.
Don't waste your time or that coaches. It is valuable.

I will never understand how you claim to "love" softball and "want to be good" but you:
Don't go hard in drills
Don't throw and catch with a purpose
Don't have a plan in pregame tee work
Don't prepare in your pregame reps
Walk across the field
Let your body language be a drain.

Just my observation after watching several games online this weekend...
I would have thought more young ladies would have been happy to play softball instead of displaying poor body language and hustle.

Talked to a 2023 young lady today that said she was "nervous" about 9/1.
I said don't be. God has a plan. Keep balling out and the path will be laid out.
Wish more young women would quit worrying about recruiting and just focus on playing the game hard with passion!

"How did you do today?"
If you play a team sport and your first response is "I went, I did, or I didn't", then you are missing the point.
"We won, we competed, we lost, we gotta get better, etc."

How does a college coach reach out to a recruit if the high quality profile sheet does not have at least one form of contact information?
Asking for a friend... 😁😁😁

All coaches are looking for talented players who are extremely loyal, have an insatiable hunger for improvement, and an iron clad work ethic.
No matter the division. No matter the sport. Be the best where you are. Don't settle for good enough. Shed those chains.

I'm as excited about Sept 1st as the D1 coaches and recruits are. The reshuffle is real.
Just know an offer on Wednesday, or lack there of, does not define you as a person or player. It actually may bring a little clarity to some muddy waters right now.

Unpopular opinion but it's mine...
Same travel coaches pushing D2 coaches all summer to recruit their kids, which we do, turn right around and talk about Sept 1 being the first day of recruiting.
Just keep it real with us. It ain't about feathers in caps, it's about fits...

If D1 softball is important to you then just find a way. Call about an academic visit. See about a virtual facility tour. If they are recruting you, then they will find a way to help. Trust me, they are still working.
Patience. Lots going on behind the scenes.

Alvy fought the good fight and ran one heck of a race. I will miss my friend and mentor. Rest easy Boss...
We've lost a legend this morning. Alvy Early, a great coach and a better friend, died early this morning. Our prayers go out to his wife, Nancy, his sons, Preston, Brian and Kent, and their families. We'll miss you coach. You were one of a kind.

Athletes want to play. They are following the mask rules on campus. If the other student population would follow suit maybe we can help slow down this stuff.
If you don't want to wear the mask CORRECTLY ,then go online classes. It is not that difficult.

I might be in the minority as a coach, but if you send me a BP clip please include the whole round.
Clips front toss home runs on cookies are awesome, but I would love to see how you hit balls outside the middle of the plate...or even your mis-hits :-)

I don't think you can talk your way into a softball scholarship. Travel coach can't do it. Recruiting coordinator can't do it. Grind in the dark and put the product on the field against others who fighting for the same opportunities...
That's when you turn the corner :-)

One person can make the difference.
In this case one person and one team really lit a fire under everything good about college softball and young women everywhere.
