Reminder to all my softballers: Your worth is not whether or not you got a call today.
Softball is NOT who you are, it is what you do.
You keep grinding, playing with passion & heart and I promise you’ll find your home when the time is right.
4/ Hear this: if a coach has offered you a spot in their program they are literally betting on you.
This is not pressure - this is TRUST.
You are now a professional, hired to do a job and there are 20 teammates and a whole staff depending on you to deliver.
Sad to hear the news of this complex closing. My first ever pitching lesson happened here, surrounded by baseball and softball players everywhere, I immidately fell in love. The athletes, parents, other programs that this program inspired was unbelievable.
After nearly 20 years of helping the next generation of young athletes train, the West Suburban Sports Complex (formerly the Bulls/Sox Academy) will not be reopening its doors. We want to thank the everyone who supported us throughout the years.

To our softball community – join us in committing to take action against racism and injustice.
Go to https://t.co/wGh7DbMMFC for resources & add your name to the list. Then share your own action using #AthletesTakeAction.
Admitting your mistakes serves as a way to lead by example.
If your team sees you displaying the intestinal fortitude required to take risks & then be honest when things don’t work out, they’ll be encouraged to do the same in their own work & in their own lives.
