Coaches, one of the greatest challenges—and greatest opportunities—in coaching is learning to coach the athlete in front of you, not the athlete you wish you had.
Every player is different. Different strengths. Different struggles. Different journeys.
Great coaches don't spend their energy wishing for something else. They invest their energy developing the gifts God has already placed in each athlete.
Meet them where they are. Believe in who they can become. Then help them take the next step.
That's where growth happens.

Remember that God works all things together for good, especially when it doesn’t seem like it.
Feel the peace of faith begin to move quietly through you as you return into alignment and wholeness with God. As hard as it might be to see right now, this too is a blessing in disguise carrying deeper purpose. God is helping you through this. You are not alone. You are becoming someone you’ve never been, in the best way. And this will all lead to a new possibility that transforms and blesses your entire life. Believe
My son is in Coach Pitch All-Stars and the amount of drama has been wild. The idea of Coach Pitch All-Stars is already silly because 75% of this game is whether or not Calvin from accounting can throw a strike from a little league mound (he can't).

Thankful this is where my career once started and showed me college softball is the place to be. Forever grateful 🐗
If you’re rushing to early June tryouts because you’re scared there won’t be a spot for your kid later… that’s fear energy 😮💨
And if a spot can disappear that fast, maybe your kid ain’t really good enough for that team… because great teams always make room for elite players on August 1..
This time of year where the College Softball and College Baseball postseasons are heating up is the most underappreciated time in sports, especially when your teams are in the mix. The feelings I have felt the past few days have been absolutely electric.
