The Star-Spangled Banner hits different on home soil at the FIFA World Cup 🇺🇸

What does being “Coachable” look like? - Eye contact - Good body language - Nodding when listening - Growth mindset - Seek feedback - No excuses - Leave ego at the door - Accept criticism Being coachable isn't knowing it all. It's being willing to learn it all.

One of the most overlooked parts of player development isn’t another lesson, workout, or showcase… It’s watching the game. When athletes watch college softball with intention, they start to understand: ✅ The speed of the game ✅ How different positions are played at each level ✅ What college coaches value ✅ Communication and leadership on the field ✅ Offensive and defensive strategies ✅ The difference between levels (D1, D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO) From a recruiting standpoint, watching games helps athletes identify programs that fit their style of play. Not every successful player looks the same, and not every program recruits the same type of athlete. Pay attention to: 🥎 What skills stand out 🥎 How players carry themselves 🥎 Team culture and energy 🥎 Coaching styles 🥎 Offensive approaches 🥎 Defensive positioning The athletes who learn the game often separate themselves from the athletes who only play the game. This summer, challenge yourself to watch college softball regularly. Take notes. Study players at your position. Learn something from every game. Information is power, and the more you understand the college game, the better prepared you’ll be when it’s your turn.

Your job is to plant the good seed of the Gospel, not to change their heart. That is God’s job. Don't get your job and God's job mixed up.

Sometimes your most important heroes are the unsung ones. Redshirt sophomore,Taylor Kittleman, was in the dugout and noticed that the FSU baserunner left early. She asked for Coach Bear to initiate a challenge, which eventually wiped 3 FSU runs off the board. UCF won the game 4-2. You're our hero @KittlemanTaylor! Photo credit: @UCFKnights

🚨TRANSFER PORTAL ATHLETES🚨 If you post that you’re entering the portal and hear crickets… that’s not a great sign. (Even though coaches can’t contact you directly until June 8.) Right now, college coaches are following portal athletes and reaching out to travel ball coaches if they’re interested. But interest does NOT equal an offer. Coaches may be tracking 40 portal athletes at your position. Keep your options open. And honestly — the schools reaching out to you are probably the level you can realistically play at. Most athletes want high-level DI, but college coaches decide who fits their level… not the athlete. Lastly: nearly 50% of transfer portal softball athletes never play college softball again. Remember that before telling coaches, “No thanks.”

How We Play

If youre not old enough to have watched Michael Jordan play, you should probably keep your awful opinion to yourself.

Not every at-bat is about getting a hit. Sometimes your job is to advance a runner. Quality at bats win games! 🥎

Winning is a habit. Watch your thoughts, they become your beliefs. Watch your beliefs, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. – Vince Lombardi

Athletes: You will never regret giving your best effort or being a great teammate.

"When the buzzer sounded all I wanted to say was praise God for the gift that this was... He did so many incredible things... God's grace just supplied what I need." - Illinois F Ben Humrichous about his journey from NAIA to the Final Four vs UCONN
