My thoughts as I leave ATLANTA:
1- The 24’ and 25’ classes are loaded
2- The teams on the backfields are my favorite! They are ones that don’t get the main field games or attention. Yet, their coaches & parents are always welcoming & appreciative. THANK YOU “back-field bandits!!”
📣 RECRUITS: it’s not ONLY about Colorado this week. I know a lot you are from families, like mine growing up, where you can’t afford all the big national tournaments.
@DelStSB
is still looking for you. Send videos, email us, tweet, tag, post & we’ll recruit you where you are 👊
RECRUITS 📣
2026’s and 2027’s, I appreciate your post, tags, & emails. You can keep them coming, but I need to honest. I’m a LONG WAY off from recruiting you. Your time will come! Until then, enjoy your teammates and have fun playing and learning the game of softball

This has to be the hardest pitched softball in recorded history!!These kids are getting really good.
@jordybahl
inspiring everyone. Obviously my radar had a glitch on this pitch, but still fun nonetheless. 😊
📣 Uncommitted 2023’s.
1- No one has to “find you.” 2 - We know who you are by now.
3- The roster spots almost gone for your class.
4-That’s why there’s no offers.
Your parents sacrificed too much for this to end without you securing the 🥎 bag (scholarship)

. Lost Mountain Park is fun, but Shaw Park and Kennworth Park are where the “back field” bandits are playing hard and getting looks!!
High school/Travel ball coaches and players always ask “what are you looking for?” Here’s my answer…. I’m looking for pitchers that throw strikes, EXCELLENT defenders, speed, and hitters that get this type of swing off in a game not only during BP 👀🔥. HMU if you fit the mole!
That’s all for Colorado! Next events: Queen of the Hill in Richmond, VA, and the always excellent Atlanta Legacy!!! Where I promise I’ll come see
@ecbstephens
The transfer portal has changed college recruiting. Took a break from “normal” recruiting today. 👍
@FGCLsoftball
for hosting the Transfer Portal Workout in Bradenton, FL. Good seeing
@deanofsoftball5
today! “Normal” recruiting re-starts @ Scenic City. My focus is 24’s & 25’s.
🥎 Athletes…… If you attend a D2, NAIA, D3, or JUCO-appreciate the opportunity and enjoy the experience. Go play your sport and have fun!!!
Your critics don’t have the final say over your life!! “Haters are gonna hate.”
Leaving Colorado Sparkler in style!! Next stop TNT Showcase in Quakertown, PA. Looking for players to join the Hornets

📣 I hope everyone is prepared for D1 communication starting September 1!
Travel ball coaches: E-mail your list of 2025’s to college coaches BEFORE September 1st.
2025’s: Reach out and let us know you’re interested. dstockdale

The
@ncaa
transfer portal has a lot of names being added hourly. Your name might be at the 🔝 of the list at 8am, but by 4pm it’s on the next page (not even visible) anymore. Don’t wait to be contacted. Being in portal is step 1. Reach out to coaches is step 2. My DM’s wide open.
📣 This is for all the overlooked recruits and travel ball teams that never get opportunities for D1. I’ll have scholarship offers READY TO ROLL on those back fields all summer. This summer is for YOU!! Send me your schedule.
I agree!! Coaches can’t help you unless we can actually contact you. We’d love to recruit you, but the email needs to come from YOU, and NOT a general recruiting service. And PLEASE add video!!!
Simple email tips to elevate your recruiting game!
❗️Your email address matters
❗️Subject line matters

conversation with Coach Lindsay Leftwich
📣 Not sure who needs to hear this, but on a 2 lane HWY, the left lane is for college coaches in a hurry to go recruit, and the right lane is for the rest of you!!

There’s a difference between making a D1 roster and actually playing when you get to school. If you want to play, you should focus on the areas where you need to improve the most. DEFENSE ALWAYS PLAYS!!!! Good luck and get to work.
For the students I’ve coached in the past; for the current student-athletes I coach now, & for the future generations of college students: current student loans should be FORGIVEN, and future loans should be reasonably lended to individuals attending public schools @ 0% interest!
🔥🔥 If I played volleyball I’d probably commit to Nebraska after seeing this. Women Athletics can generate just as much 💵 as the Men if given equal access and opportunities. Here’s the proof ⬇️
Find a local group home and work/volunteer there if you can. It’s worth it!! I love coaching, but working with these kids is where I find my greatest joy. I ❤️ these kids!!!

You, I, and
@NovakChristian2
just need to hang out on the “back fields” all summer. That’s where the underdogs roam anyway!! Don’t let these tournament directors “big time” you. Your school and level of play is important to 10,000 kids trying to get opportunities. Carry on!
Separate the silly from the serious. Find people with championship mentalities and work ethic and move forward with them. At least then when you do lose it will feel different.
🚨CALLING ALL ALUMNI!!🚨
Once an Athlete ALWAYS an Athlete.
We are welcoming back any DSU softball alumni during homecoming weekend!! Game will be on October 28th at 2pm.
We would love our current team to meet the ladies that started it all and built such an amazing culture
Wow!! The first step, the burst of speed, the route to the ball, the effort, and the toughest to hang on to the ball to complete the catch; and she did all this IN PRACTICE!!!
@ciarabriggs88
good stuff 🤛
Good grief………..The 🥎 Class of 2025 is AGGRESSIVE!! Y’all really know how to get someone’s attention!! Y’all really do tag, tweet, follow, DM, and email 24/7. Real aggressive, but I ❤️ it!! Might as well keep it rolling 🤷♂️
These women deserve this!!! This morning, DSU Athletics, hosted a breakfast for our elite student-athletes who achieved a 3.5-4.0 GPA. We strive to graduate students who will accomplish success in life, and that all starts here!
