Glad to see back on the mound!

[Olivia_Laymance_2028🥎 @2028Laymance]

First tournament of the summer! Thank you so much to all of the coaches who took the time to watch us at SMTM! So grateful to have the opportunity to play with the amazing girls on my team and can’t wait to see what the rest of the summer has in store for us! Was also super excited to be back on the mound and here’s some of my highlights!

Tomorrow marks the first day of summer recruiting for Division I softball.

If coaches are going to spend their day watching fields, give them something to watch.

Be exciting.

Not just when the ball is hit to you, but between pitches, in the dugout, and while supporting your teammates.

Energy is contagious.
Effort stands out.
Enthusiasm is noticed.

Make coaches want to keep watching. 🥎

Can’t wait to be beck on the field in FL with my team!! Come check us out! 🥎🤍🖤

Watching pitchers celebrate 500, 600, 700, even 1,000 career strikeouts in high school… then summer ball starts and they’re immediately handed the ball for Game 1 of every tournament.

Why?

Why are we asking athletes who just finished a full high school season to carry another massive workload?

Just because she can pitch doesn’t always mean she should.

College coaches need healthy pitchers, not exhausted ones. The goal isn’t to win one more pool game. The goal is to help these athletes arrive on campus healthy, strong, and still loving the game.

Protect the arm. Protect the athlete. Protect the future. 🥎

[TC Wall @tcwall45]

Coaches playing in “showcases” already and players tagging D1 coaches who can’t even come out yet. I promise they aren’t watching your live steam either while you’re playing the pink lady bugs.

[The Hype Mom @softballhype]

Softball is a game of failure. You’re going to strike out, make an error, give up a homerun. Just like in life, we are going to sin. It’s unavoidable.

On the field, failure humbles you. At the cross, sin humbles you. But here’s the difference:
In softball, you still have to live with your stats. In Christ, your sin was fully paid for.

Jesus took every failure, every sin, every moment we fell short, and carried it to the cross. He did what we never could- lived perfectly.

The enemy wants athletes to believe: “You messed up, so you’re worthless.”

Jesus says: “You messed up, and I still chose you.”

Softball gives you another at-bat after failure. The Gospel gives you another chance after sin. Not because you earned it. Because grace is bigger than your worst inning.

[Coach Jennifer Turner @CAASoftballAdv]

Your dream matters.

The mistake athletes make is spending too much time looking left and right — measuring their journey against everyone else’s timeline.

Comparison creates pressure.
Comparison creates doubt.
Comparison steals joy from the work you’re doing.

Because the goal was never to have the same dream as everyone else.

The goal is to chase the one that belongs to you.

[The Hype Mom @softballhype]

Growth is uncomfortable.

If you’re the strongest player on your team… that’s a blessing.

But if you’re always the strongest player on your team? That might mean it’s time to move up.

Iron sharpens iron. And iron doesn’t get sharper hitting foam.

If you never
• feel challenged
• get beat
• have to adjust
• get outworked

…you’re not growing. You’re coasting.

Being the best in the room might protect your ego.
It won’t prepare you for the next level.

God often grows us in uncomfortable places. The Bible reminds us that perseverance produces character. Growth rarely happens where everything feels easy.

Move up.
Play where you might fail.
Play where you have to fight for reps.
Play where someone pushes you every single day.

Growth looks like
– Struggling
– Getting humbled
– Being sore
– Questioning yourself
– Starting over

Good.

That means you’re stretching.

Play hard. Compete hard. And remember who you’re playing for. When you play for Jesus, the goal isn’t comfort… it’s growth.

“People always asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kid to do sports”?

Well I have a confession to make; I don't pay for my kid to “to do sports”
Personally, I couldn't care less about what sport she does

So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
- I pay for those moments when my kid becomes so tired she wants to quit but doesn’t

- I pay for those days when my kid comes home from school and is “too tired" to go to her training but she goes anyway.

- I pay for my kid to learn to be disciplined, focused and dedicated

- I pay for my kid to learn to take care of her body and learn how to correctly fuel her body for success.

- I pay for my kid to learn to work with others and to be a good team mate, gracious in defeat and humble in success

- I pay for my kid to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don’t get that placing or title they'd hoped for, but still they go back week after week giving it their best shot.

- I pay for my kid to learn to make and accomplish goals

- I pay for my kid to respect, not only themselves, but others, officials, judges and coaches

- I pay for my kid to learn that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight

- I pay for my kid to be proud of small achievements, and to work towards long term goals

- I pay for the opportunity my child has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of her achievements as I am

- I pay so that my child can be in the gym instead of in front of a screen

- I pay for those rides home where we make precious memories talking about practice, both good and bad

-I pay so that my child can learn the importance of time management and balancing what is important like school and keeping grades up

I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for sports

I pay for the opportunities that sports provides my kid with to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others.
From what I have seen I think it is a great investment!”

LADY VOLS DESTROY NO. 6 FLORIDA STATE🍊

The Lady Vols are 10-0 and have scored 76 runs to their ten opponents combined run total of 4 😳

THIS TEAM FEELS DIFFERENT 🔥

[Coach Jennifer Turner @CAASoftballAdv]

🚨 WAITING IS THE MOST DANGEROUS STRATEGY IN RECRUITING 🚨

If you’re sitting back hoping a coach “finds you,” you’re already behind.

Recruiting does not reward the most talented.
It rewards the most proactive.

Here’s what happens when you wait:

• Other athletes email first
• Other athletes send updates
• Other athletes attend camps
• Other athletes follow up

And roster spots quietly disappear.

College softball moves fast. Coaches build boards. They track names. They prioritize athletes who show consistent interest.

Silence does not communicate confidence.
Silence communicates disinterest.

I’ve seen it too many times — talented players who thought:
“Once school ball starts, they’ll see me.”
“Once I hit 70 exit velo, I’ll reach out.”
“Once I make varsity, then I’ll email.”

But recruiting doesn’t pause while you prepare.

It’s happening now.

Waiting creates:
❌ Missed evaluation windows
❌ Late communication
❌ Fewer scholarship conversations
❌ Panic senior year

Taking action creates:
✔ Visibility
✔ Relationship building
✔ Early evaluations
✔ Options

You don’t need to be perfect to start.
You need to be visible.

Send the email.
Make the call.
Update the video.
Follow up after the tournament.

The athletes who treat recruiting like a priority — not a backup plan — are the ones who control their outcome.

Don’t wait for permission.
Don’t wait for confidence.
Don’t wait for “ready.”

Start.

Because the biggest risk in recruiting?

Doing nothing.
