She unfortunately misread the ball thinking she didn’t need to jump to make the play and subsequently missed it by a hair. The game is all about inches & I promise she is beating her self up relentlessly about this play & doesn’t need anyone else to join in.
I know this may not be a big deal to some but I noticed it immediately. The eye contact.
One thing that was instilled in me at a young age was the importance of making eye contact when someone is speaking to you. It’s a simple habit, but it says a lot. It shows respect. It shows that you’re present and paying attention.
That’s why it’s something I emphasize at every clinic I run. When I’m teaching, I expect athletes to look me in the eye. Not because I’m trying to be super strict, but because learning how to communicate, listen, and show respect will take them much further than anything I can teach them about fielding a ground ball or swinging a bat.
While I don’t know Coach Murphy or Jocelyn Briski, the fact that this is something she naturally does tells me a lot about her character and the program that helps shape her.
Softball is about so much more than softball.

It’s game day here for the Titans!!! 4pm start vs 33 seeded Greater Lawrence at Pembroke High School!! EARN IT!!! PACK the field with your support for these awesome young ladies !!! @Titans_Sball
I want to note when Brooke Wells hit the go ahead to put up a 3 run lead, the happiest person to greet her, Mari Hubbard, was the happiest I’ve ever seen anyone.
She’s not in the starting line up, she didn’t get into the game.
That’s Alabama softball.
