I’m a professional softball player and I dropped a fly ball this season. It was embarrassing
But we’re all imperfect. Remember that
Players, give yourself grace
Coaches, learn to give correction that doesn’t damage confidence
Parents, give your kids space after tough games
I’d rather be great at a mid-major than average/below average at some P5 schools. And the fact
@JMUSoftball
keeps proving you can do absolutely anything anywhere is really cool. Recruits, dream big but what do you value? Make sure you know
Hey recruits, can anyone do these things?
• stand at home & throw the ball over the OF fence
• run home 2 home sub :11
• bench your body weight & deadlift 2x your bw
• do a pistol squat
• hit a sb out with a wood bat
I want strong, fast ATHLETES!
#acceptthechallenge
I was recruited by 1 school
I was last pick of the draft
I’m now on year 8 of pro ball, coaching & hopefully not retiring anytime soon
What’s your story going to be?
YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Baserunning Tip of the Day:
When leading off a bag, we need good shin angle, no false steps, 45 degree angle of body, knee up, toe up, big arms. TRAIN IT. I want to seeeee it 👀
faster than a hiccup
@mzerkleee
😜great play but hard to defend elite speed. great to have softball to watch
@AUProSports
👏. With Sept 1 on the horizon, if you can run like this don't wait for me to call you - pick up the 📞 and holler

Advice to younger slappers: learn to stay in the box! Or at least make it less obvious. It can be done. Even on a pitch in the other batters box. And if you want to hit the ball hard, then learn to swing away!

I wasn’t nervous all week and this is why
Our pitching is legit
I trust our defense
And this team can crush a softball
I would not want to see

got to participate in the 25th annual Sweetheart Clinic! 💕

Sports are special

I love lifting heavy. I’m all for it! But lately I’ve seen so many videos with heavy weight, poor form & no spotter.
I’ve learnt the hard way how important it is to take care of your body. Be careful, friends!
Excited to have my greatest mentor back in Huntington! Come hear from one of the best and get a chance to interact with
@HerdSB

fought late into the night. It was exactly where we all wanted to be — 7th inning, down by 1, leadoff coming up. A chance to takedown

tourney!
Me as a PSA in 2010 if Twitter recruiting was a thing then...
My team (you’ve never heard of them) went 8-0 this weekend! I hit .800 with 6 bunts, 4 doubles, 2 triples, an inside the park HR & 16 stolen bases.

Not all great players make great coaches but
