You need to be all in. All the time. Not when you think it matters. Not when you think the right people are watching. Now. Right now. Today. Tomorrow. And every day that you enter the arena of life. It's game on. With everything that you have. Go hard. Go home a champion.

Great performance by @JMUSoftball and Odicci Alexander. She has always been a great pitcher but was behind some great arms. She continued to grind and is getting the recognition she deserves. She stuck with her team instead of looking for greener grass. Great lesson for us all

Not quite what we wanted to hear from the NCAA but these young ladies will be ok. We will all adjust and adapt. No reason for panic. There was a time when we recruited one class at a time. And it worked. Focus on the development and grind. The rest will work out.

As we are all dealing with what we are today, make sure we don’t forget about what we have to be thankful for. As we all want our “normal” lives back, this is also forcing us to slow our lives down and remember what is truly important.
