🥎 'This group will never happen again' Arkansas softball coach Courtney Deifel reflected on what her program's first Women's College World Series team taught her after the Razorbacks' season ended with a loss to UCLA on Friday ⬇️

Since she was a year old, @CofCSoftball HC Maggie Mrowka was following dad, Steve, around the ballpark. Dragging his field at George Washington by 5. By 25, she was the youngest head coach in D1 softball. Few months later - he’s living a lifelong coaching dream through her… in the Big Dance. The NCAA Tournament. His story-this week, a once in a lifetime moment for dad.

I had a conversation with a Power 4 college coach who’s been doing this for 25 years. We were talking about the mentality of high school players during the recruiting process. Here’s what he told me: “What these kids don’t realize is… I don’t care how many followers you have. I don’t care how many home runs you hit in travel ball. I don’t care how many offers you have. I don’t care about your ranking. I don’t care how hard you can hit a ball. I don’t care about your metrics. The only thing I care about is this: Are you going to produce in between those white lines when we play this season?” Then he said something else that hit: “They’ve been so protected that the first time they fail, they quit… or they transfer.” And here’s the part that matters. The biggest development mistake I see? Players don’t plan for failure. They plan for success. They visualize success. They expect success. But they don’t prepare for 0-4. They don’t prepare for getting booed. They don’t prepare for sitting the bench. They don’t prepare for struggling for 3 weeks. So when it happens — and it will — they panic. Instead of executing a pre-made plan, they try to create one while emotional. That never works. Failure is coming. The question is: Did you already decide how you’re going to handle it?
