Rough 24 hours. I lost my hero my dad. Thank you for all the time you spent with me and the life lessons you taught me. Thank you dad for loving my wife and your grandchildren. I love you and tell God - let’s go Yankees.

players leaving college commitments- starts with jumping teams at club level They will be players in the portal in the future. Club coaches lurking at fields stealing players. Try developing a player- this is called coaching. To many clowns in the game. 33 years I can say it.
We haven’t played softball since November but we are seeing ranking for the 2025/24 class. Please stop. People ranking kids who have never seen them play in a real event. News flash colleges don’t recruit rankings you need to show up on the field.

19 years ago I lost a friend who coached with me who was brave enough to run to the towers to help others. Dave like many first responders never made it out. God bless all the families who lost loved ones that day. Please Always support first responders.

Seeing players in 7th grade verbal to college is a joke. Speaking as a coach for 30 years what has changed is the college coaches. This should be fixed

Words can’t express how hard it is to get a call that another great friend has passed away. H we go back a long time. A time that many don’t know. I am going to miss you pal. Say hi to Anthony. You have touched so many lives along the way. Thanks H Rest In Peace my friend.
Club coaches that have kids playing while the HS team is in states is wrong. Especially since it’s a dead period for D-1 - you have all summer. It’s not about you and a meaningless event. Be better

Respect the HS coach

People wonder why players don’t have commitment. All you need to do with is look at who they are taught by. Old school values are missing from today’s parent . Team is always first not me. Work harder ! Instead today’s parent finds another team.

Well it’s day 2 of no softball and sports ! Not going to lie miss my team. Should have know when March had no snow and 70 degrees was to good to be true. Let’s keep 🙏we will be back soon !! Can only get car washed and clean so many times !
2024 players - If your phone rings today that is awesome ! If it don’t , that’s ok too. It’s a long way to the finish line. doing this a long time you will play in college even if your phone didn’t ring today.

Amazing seeing all these “guest” players to teams with multiple teams in organizations. Why not use your own kids ? Bring a guest and sit your player? Never got the guest thing and the team hopping. Teach your kid to have loyalty and commitment. Work harder to get better.

So sad to hear about the passing of John. A great guy, we always enjoyed competing vs each other. One of the good guys in the game. Prayers to his family and NJ Gator family

Great 11 days playing 25 games - vs the best in America
@BoulderIDT
thank you - best national level play in summer.
@Los_Stuff
finished tied for 17th great work. Thank you to the coaches who came by
The greatest thing about coaching is relationships. Last night ran into a player I coached in college. He was so excited to introduce me to his son and said coach you made me a man and your the reason I coach. Special moment

Well the 2019 season is done. NJ-PA-CO-IL-RI trips. 68 games scholarships D-1 seniors and more important a lot of fun and memories. Thank you to this group for keeping Pride at a national level. Best of luck in…
As a great coach once said “it’s not about you “ team players are players who succeed and make it at the next level. Commitment to the team is what it’s all about. It’s never changed and never will.
PSA - all these fake emails to players about coaches wanting you at a clinic. If it’s paid to a third party they probably got your name from a list. Check before you do anything. If a school is having clinic it will be on schools web site.

Phil - so a team from north nj traveling to cape may is ok but a team from north jersey to Rockland county isn’t ? Because Youth sports is the issue ? Cmon - would like to know the science behind this.
It’s great when coaches from wanna be programs creep around fields trying to steal players ! You just prove you are a scab. Try building a program. It feels better when you do things the right way.

players in her last travel tournament after missing her high school softball & travel seasons due to COVID-19 & a knee injury.
In the airport this morning and see a former player that I️ coached in college with his family. He turned to his wife and said I️ love this man he changed my life with tough love. Nothing better then coaching. Great way to start the day.

One of the Best parts of coaching is getting calls and texts from college players about how much the enjoy it. Another is when they are struggling and have the trust in you to talk about it ! We are always around for our players !

As another summer comes to an end it will always remind me of Coach Mac - He would say be thankful for the ones who appreciate what you have done but you will always think about the ones who couldn’t even say thank you. Coach Mac best coach ever miss you coach.
Sometimes you have to be just a dad ! Great spending some time with my daughter and friends who happen to be some great kids I coach in HS ! They can play and dance too !
@SRod021
Wins are great. Traveling to tournaments are better but nothing is better as a coach then having a 30 min conversation with a player who is choosing between 2 colleges.
