Standing with college coaches today, a parent walked by holding an umbrella over their athlete while the athlete was on her phone.

One coach looked at me and said, “I’ll pass.”

There are a lot of talented players. The little things—independence, maturity, and personal responsibility—matter more than many families realize.

[Coach Holden @CSC_SB_Coach]

Just wanted to remind everyone that its a NCAA rule that I can't reply to posts or comments made by recruits. It feel super weird to me not to, but rules are rules. Kind of a dumb rule, but they didnt ask my opinion on it.

I’m so excited to play in Colorado for the next week! Here’s my schedule. @NJPrideGold

Yesterday was a tough day at the plate.

I hit a riseball (NiJa’s might I add) on the ground to 2nd base… If I was coaching I would’ve told my athletes it was a good miss. As a player, I wanted to scream.

Later on in the game I hit an outside drop ball in the air to left field… once again, I would’ve said it was a good miss. As a player all I could think about was that I stranded the tying run at 2nd base & failed my team.

I say this because I’m 20+ years into this sport & still learning to trust the process. To expect more but not overthink & go crazy. Softball is so dang hard some days.

But I sure am grateful for another day!

Here is our schedule for Team New Jersey! Even though I’m not gonna be there this week, I’m still cheering my girls on from home and I’ll be healing up to be back and better than ever! @CDFusionSB @1on1YourShotOn1 @IHartFastpitch @Danihenderson44 @coachkate_sc @CortlandSB @SCPrideSoftball @RinaeOlsen @ElonSoftball @QU_Softball @CoachChinny @StaceyMayer_ @ESUSoftball @CoachRogerW @CoachMollyO @CSC_SB_Coach @coach_justice33

[Coach Holden @CSC_SB_Coach]

Remember, some coaches don't like to give you an offer until they have seen you make a mistake. Everyone makes a mistake, its what you do after that matters. WHEN you make a mistake, show everyone how fast you can shake it off and continue playing for your team.

I had a great weekend at the Pennsbury Invitational this past weekend! I had a walk and a single and I was able to stretch a single into a double with some aggressive base running! Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle but I’ll be back and better in 2 weeks! @CDFusionSB @1on1YourShotOn1 @IHartFastpitch @Danihenderson44 @coachkate_sc @CortlandSB @SCPrideSoftball @RinaeOlsen @ElonSoftball @QU_Softball @CoachChinny @StaceyMayer_ @ESUSoftball @CoachRogerW @CoachMollyO @CSC_SB_Coach @coach_justice33

[Coach Holden @CSC_SB_Coach]

If we are recruiting two players, one with an exit velocity of 67 and another with 62, which one are we going after? The one with the best attitude. Improving a swing is easy, improving an attitude isn't.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

COACHES: When you’re on your deathbed you’re going to be surrounded by people, not trophies.
Winning is important.
It will never stop being important.
But how you treat people along the way will always be more important.

My team and I are back on the field this weekend at the Power 24 Showcase!

[The Hype Mom @softballhype]

Uncommitted 2026s:

Everyone wants to join a winner. Not everyone is willing to help build one.

Programs with new coaches and rebuilding rosters need athletes who are ready to compete, lead, and leave their mark.

If you’re still looking for a home, don’t overlook schools like @Jayhawks_SB. The chance to help build something special can be just as valuable as joining an established program.

Be open-minded. Your opportunity might look different than you expected.

[Coach Holden @CSC_SB_Coach]

Hey, just wanted to let you know that you are going to be ok! This whole recruiting thing is nuts and the pressure feels like its going to make you explode sometimes, but you are going to be fine! All you need to do is find a coach you trust in a place that feels like home.
