Y’ALL…there was no way I was going to make my connection due to weather but by the grace of God (and maybe partially my speediness 😂) I made my flight!
I GET TO GO SEE MY MOM TONIGHT 😭🙏🏼
PS…if you saw me running through the CLT airport, no you didn’t 🙈
Over the moon excited for this new chapter of your journey but sad I won’t see my friend every day
Thank you for being you & never letting there be a dull moment in the office or on the field!
You’re going to do great things for the program & I can’t wait to see your success 💛
I’m hurting...For my girls that have worked so hard this year & put their heart & soul into everything, your passion for the game has not gone unnoticed! This time is hard to understand but we can only turn to God & put it all in His hands. Forever proud of them! I love you all🤍
As a pitching coach, a Top 50 ERA is awesome but it makes me SO PROUD to have a defense that allows pitchers to not be afraid to put the ball in play!
We would not be where we are at without our DEFENSE!
Also hitters keep hitting 😎💪🏼
Excited to continue climbing w/

Peep @ 8 seconds to see who’s hands go up first…
Today I found out you can customize your own bag of sour patch kids and you can bet when I get paid I will be ordering a 2lb bag of all blue sour patch kids because that flavor is, without a doubt, the BEST
Full circle moment: I grew up playing in this tournament in hopes of following my dreams of playing collegiate softball…now as a coach, I get to go recruit young girls with the same dream 🤩👏🏼
SO excited to add more talent to our nest!

LOVED this read from
@jjpower19
!
As a young coach just starting my career, I appreciated the lessons throughout the book & grabbed so many great nuggets from it that I’ll keep with me on my journey!
Would definitely recommend to anyone but especially young coaches!
The bats were on fire. The pitching was great. The energy was electric. But most importantly...this game was fun to watch!!!
Always a great day to be a Colonel but this makes it just that much better!!

It’s that point in the fall where the tired starts to catch up to you and you tried for 2 minutes to open up your mailbox with your apartment key, wondering why it wasn’t opening...hope my neighbors got a laugh 🙃😅
Got a little soft spot in my heart for each one of the girls on our staff!!
Proud of the work they put in every day & the determination they have to keep getting better!

Y’ALL SOFTBALL IS BACK ON TV!! Excited to watch this new league and so many talented athletes take the field and propel the softball world even more 🤩🥎
No matter what, there is NOTHING, no virus, no war, NOTHING that can put Jesus back in that tomb...and if that isn’t something to be thankful for then I don’t know what is 😇🙌🏼
The best word to describe my experience with
@S2_Breakthrough
‘Behind the Scenes’ day is THANKFUL!
Thankful for their transparency, thankful for the development they are doing for the softball world, & thankful for some awesome, very passionate people to call my new friends!
Could cry happy tears for my best friend
@allisonnrager
! I cannot wait to see your growth and everything you experience with this program & these people! Treat her well Oxford, y’all got a great one 💙❤️
Catchers are the best/most important (a very unbiased opinion 😉😂) & this one will definitely make some noise as a Colonel! Can’t wait to have her on campus & get to work 💪🏼🥎 Congrats

So like as an adult, if you’re done with school, what do you do in your free time?
I feel like I should be doing something with all my free time at night...like I’m not used to having all this time and constantly feel like I have something to do or should be doing something 😅
I seriously confuse myself sometimes. I get scared to watch any scary/horror movies whatsoever, which for the most part are made up, but could watch true crime documentaries all day long and not be the slightest bit scared...and I don’t know why it’s like that but it is 🤷🏼♀️
