I’m already seeing 2027s decommit because of 5-for-5.

I’ll keep saying this over and over: you are not done being recruited until you’ve exhausted your eligibility.

Recruiting doesn’t stop when you commit. It doesn’t stop when you sign. It doesn’t stop after your freshman year. Stay ready, keep developing, and never assume your spot is guaranteed.

Parents for the love of god please stay out of your son or daughters dugout. Players, stop going to visit mommy and daddy during the game. You might as well go out on the field with an emotional support stuffed animal at this point it’s getting a little nuts. Get their water or whatever they need before the game you don’t need to visit each other 5 times a game and then wonder why they can’t do hard things on their own.

The NCAA transfer window for softball players is open TODAY: a 15-day window from June 8 to June 22.

Advice to athletes & families: ⬇️
- Make sure you can maintain your degree or academic hopes wherever you are looking.
- Choose coaches who prioritize YOU as a person first, player second.
- Ask current players or alumni about the culture.
- If you want to get your name out there, certain schools are posting fill out forms to express you are interested.
- This period moves QUICKLY so prioritize your top schools early.
- Stand out by doing research on the schools and teams before talking to their coaches so they know you’re equally invested.

What’s going to wear out the Tech pitchers faster: constantly switching them in and out or berating them when they need support?

[DJ Gasso @djgasso]

It's an absolute shame that the game to go to the championship series is played 30 minutes apart from each other.

For softball to put the BEST product on the field with a stadium at MAX CAPACITY, these games should be on separate days.

These student athletes deserve better.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

An athlete takes a huge step forward when a coach doesn't have to ask them to work hard, extra, or correctly.

It's called taking OWNERSHIP.

Challenge yourself in 2026 to be that athlete.

[Larissa Anderson @CoachLarissaA]

The dangerous part of entitlement is believing you deserve what you never earned. #OwnIt

Nerves get a bad reputation in high school.

Athletes try to hide them.
Pretend they don’t exist.
Or think feeling nervous means they’re not ready.

But here’s the truth:

Nerves are not a weakness.
They’re a signal that you care.

And learning how to channel them during your high school years becomes one of the greatest advantages you carry into adulthood.

Because when you step onto the field nervous, you’re actually practicing life skills most people never develop.

You’re learning how to:

• Perform under pressure
• Focus when emotions are high
• Control your thoughts instead of letting them control you
• Stay disciplined when outcomes are uncertain
• Respond instead of react

Every big game…
Every tryout…
Every moment your heart is racing…

You’re not just building an athlete.

You’re building an adult who can handle:

Job interviews
Public speaking
Leadership roles
High-stakes decisions
Stressful environments

The athlete who learns to channel nerves learns something powerful:

Pressure isn’t something to fear.
It’s something to manage.

And the earlier you learn that, the more confident you become in every arena of life.

So if you feel nervous before games right now?

Good.

That means you care.
That means you’re growing.
That means you’re preparing for moments far bigger than the field.

Nerves don’t hold you back.
They train you to rise.
