“Young people, you need to bet on yourself.
If you think you're that good, you don't need a handout. You just allow your work to speak for itself."

Do not ask to be chosen.
Work until you cannot be ignored.

@jprather1024 Got the sweep, 3 win day, 4 if you count no clogged toilet to end it 🎉

What is it like to be a college softball coach?

My first win of the day today was unclogging our men’s bathroom toilet.

Attention to detail.

This is where athletes begin to stand out because they do the small things consistently — the things many players overlook.

It looks like:

• Sprinting on and off the field
• Listening carefully when coaches are giving instruction
• Treating every practice rep like it matters
• Following up with college coaches during recruiting
• Preparing before games and practices
• Moving with urgency instead of needing to be told twice

None of these things require more talent.

They require discipline, awareness, and pride in how you operate.
