Head Ball Coach Georgian Court University|
@proswings_
| let’s talk hitting | Culture Coach| former coach @ USMA West Point/Furman/ Texas A&M Corpus Christi
Just gonna be honest can we get the actual best USA softball players on the team next year. We have 5 of the best hitters/ defenders at home watching. If you want to argue let me give you a list
Jessie Warren
Sis bates
Jocelyn Alo
Aleshia Ocasio
Do I need to keep going?
I’m now the hitting coach at Army West Point softball. It’s an opportunity I couldn’t turn down! To work at such a high level place like this and be closer to family is a win win! Thank you to everyone that’s helped me get here especially all my former players love you all!!
Softball is a game of adjustments just like life. You have to feel the moment and adapt. Trust what you see and feel and adjust instantly. Be confident with that adjustment and take over. You can’t be half in and expect to succeed!

Just a thought. Why are travel softball teams already playing games/ camps. You just finished school ball take a break and watch these super regional games. Let the body rest and learn a thing or two from these girls playing at this level. Take in that relay from Clemson.
There’s a lot of girls saying yes to coaches they are just now able to make relationships with. You have 4 years with these coaches learn who they are before you make this decision after one zoom.

I’ve coached NCAA D1 and JUCO & let me tell you there is NO difference. The players at any level are amazing athletes, hard workers, leaders, great teammates, & going to make a difference in the world were in. Don’t demean players because they’re JUCO celebrate them!
#JucoRoute
The
@NJCAA
strongly denounces the statements made by Colin Cowherd on his show, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘦𝘳𝘥, in which he demeaned junior college basketball coaches and two-year collegiate athletics as a whole.
Full statement |
As I’m walking through another airport at midnight after another week long recruiting trip I can’t help but think of all the coaches grinding to chase this dream of theirs. It’s not glamorous and often a struggle but I want to say keep going and never quit!
If y’all don’t know college softball starts today!!! Down in Clearwater the jucos are firing up and there is going to be some great ball!!! Some of the best teams and players you’ll see this year are hitting the field today!

Thank you to all the young ladies/ men that have helped me to this point of my career. Also to the mentors I’ve been lucky to have in my corner. Last week I got my first collegiate head coaching win and I couldn’t have done it without every single one of you!

What a week!! Take down an sec opponent in Mississippi State and then take the number 3 ranked Seminoles to the wire. These girls are building something if you’re not a fan yet get on the bus now!!!!

Line drive practice!!! Screens all around infield. Have to hit top of net or just above it. This gives instant feed back. Also, shows where tee placement should be for each location on field. After tee work we go to front toss and have the same feel!!!

You say this when you just watched milroe throw for 115 and that offense look like trash. Also fsu was a shell of themselves in the orange bowl it’s like you don’t actually watch football other than sec and have a bias. If you weren’t employed by barstool you would be irrelevant
The ncaa not stepping in and stopping this shows how much we care about our student athletes. They can’t be students at this point. Most of the teams not football or hoops will be hitting multiple planes and busses and traveling more than they’re in classes.
#studentathletes
For all my softball followers. This is textbook. He’s got his body turned and in his crow hop already first off. Secondly he throw a low long hop which allows the catcher to stay low and in his legs to quickly turn and put the tag on. This should be on replay all day!!!
#yessir
Im so proud of our girls!!! To have Clemson on the line 2-1 in the 7th and loose on a walk off homer is nothing to hold their heads about!! There’s something brewing at furman!!! These girls are shocking a lot of people.

Please share this this is the man we’re all praying for. Stop showing the hits stop showing the tragic happenings. Please show the greatness and pray he makes this
The best coaches are really mentors! They don’t care about the wins or the spotlight. They truly care to watch their girls grow into strong woman. Woman that are going to make a difference and better this world. Woman who are confident leaders and mentors for the next generation.

@espn
Missed an oppertunity to spread the game it’s our duty to be passionate about what we love to do and get this rolling to the next level
This just might top the craziest game I’ve been apart!! Down 10-0 and come back to win 13-10!! These girls never gave up. To say I’m a proud coach is an understatement!!!

@ClayTravis
Here’s a question for you. Which out of the other top 4 teams are winning against a top 15 team with their 3rd string QB ? I’d beat none so we’re talking best teams that shows you the team they are.
@bgoodrich210
New rule is you don’t have to slide I hate it but they changed it in the mlb also go look at the pirates Orioles game from this year. Rule shouldn’t of been changed
If this doesn’t prove how important athletic trainers are then idk what will. This is scary this is shocking this is what these trainers are here for. I pray this young man makes it and we show way more love for our trainers everywhere.

#UCF
Softball game on TV all-time blowing past UCF-Florida in 2016 (246k).
Michigan-UCF Softball outrated Michigan-UCF Hoops from 12/30 (323k).
You want to be GREAT then be fine being MISUNDERSTOOD… be willing to go to the edge that no one else is willing to go to. Be willing to push the limits and dedicate your time to what you do. Time is limited use it wisely and be misunderstood.

Where to start. Yesterday goes right up there with some of the proudest moments I’ve ever had as a coach. Did we win a championship? No. Although what they did do was commission and graduate into the United States Military as Second Lieutenants. To say I’m a proud coach
For anyone who’s not at a position that their job or jobs take them away from family this is what it’s like. To travel and chase a dream is amazing but this is one of the negatives. Leaving family and moving 1000s of miles away from them is hard
#coachinglife
Bryce Harper, talking on national TV about being a father, choking up when describing his love for his children and the sacrifice it is to be away from them and miss so many big moments, that was RAW, and beautiful, and emotional, and incredibly relatable.

Opening Day! I’ve had countless opening days in my life as a player & coach & yet still today I get as excited as I did for my 1st! It’s a doorway to so many experiences good & bad with so many great teams and players. For all the players & coaches out there enjoy this day!
Thank you
@NFCAorg
and the rest of the coaches for once again a great convention. The knowledge you can take from this event is astronomical if you’re not afraid to ask. Excited to get back at it and grow this great game of ours!!!

This is a TEAM they practice together they compete together the way travel ball is going we don’t see much of this anymore! I hope more organizations start to take notice what coach
@SuzyWillemssen
and her staff is doing. This is big for softball! I can’t state this enough!
Not sure where to begin because there are no words to describe the incredible, wonderful, awe inspiring way the team competed this past year. Finishing T9th in the highest level, Tier 1 division
@thealliancefp
championship was the cherry on top The final run at AFCS displayed it
@BrennanMarion4
the journey and the lonely nights is what people dont see! But those same nights are why you are who you are! From Franklin county to the big time! Took a similar journey in the game from juco to d1 to d2 head I appreciate you and keep grinding!

To all of my current and former softball players, students, and friends. Thank you for allowing me to be your coach, mentor, and friend through this journey!! There’s nothing I enjoy more than to say I’m a woman’s softball coach!!! Keep changing the world!!!

Discomfort and being uncomfortable is a feeling highly successful people love to be in. It means they’re challenging theirselves and growing. Discomfort often is the definition of growth. Be willing to be uncomfortable and in a sense of discomfort.

This is what I preach for our hitters. Be early if you’re early you can hit anything hard or soft. If you’re late hard is untouchable and soft will jam you.
#beearly
#hitting
It’s a mindset - Train for your load to be early & ready like you’re facing an ephus pitch. Tick tick boom
In total control.
Many players that come in are late with load then early with swing. No process or feel

@On3sports
Norvell is 2-0 vs Kelly and had a team that should have been competing in playoffs. So if you’re going head to head Norvell should be ahead of Kelly
Oh so hitting off a tee is bad? I love seeing Mike trout hit off a tee. Everyday’s hitting all the quadrants get you ready and gets you getting to your slots! It’s not bad it helps!

Yesterday was a tough one for me... Not only was this my first year coaching with the Jacks it was my best year in my coaching career. The team right here broke over 15 records at the Peake and played the game hard and as a family.

isn’t just a saying it’s a lifestyle
This is a bad take this kid isn’t scared he’s the guy I’d keep. As a coach if I went in and said what prime said I’d be looking to see who receives my message. This kid received it listened and instantly followed. This kid is coach able. Idk who he is but great I commend him!
Got to get out and play today. Work all our girls from every pitcher to every player. Split but learned a lot about our team and who can play where. That’s what I love about the fall everyone getting to show what they have!!

If you have put in your time you see things. The hours this man puts in his craft lead to him seeing McCullers tipping his pitches. The success that came next put the Phils in the drivers seat.

And if you allow yourself to be held in that cage your energy, passion, commitment, and dedication will start to look a lot like those ones that put you in that cage!!!
Pick yourself up.. dust yourself off… and get back at it! That’s how champions are made. If you don’t want to be a champion keep laying there and enjoy that view. But me I’m going for the mountaintops. They’re even sweeter when you know the view from the bottom.

There is 3 types of people you need in your life.
1 inspired
2 excited
3 grateful
You don’t have a future without this crowd around you. These types of people will push you and allow you to be you. Will have your back and make sure you don’t go down the wrong road
@_coachrachel
I’m loving it. Stop moving fast and actually evaluate. It’ll slow down the people in the portal. We as coaches need to see how these players react not just on the field but off it. Is she a good fit how’s she talk to her parents and teammates. This will be better for the game
With these NIL deals. Car dealers should give coaches cars to drive around since we’re always out and about recruiting. Also, hotels hook us up with that too! Why not help us out also!

Everyone try’s to replicate the end result but don’t try to replicate the work. Everyone saw Kobe put up 81 and try to put up 81, but they don’t put in that work Kob did for a lifetime to be able to get that 81.

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on TV. This ESPN corespondent made “thoughts and prayers” more than just a cliche statement. He actually prayed live on the air for Buffalo Bills Damar Hamlin.
