This.
A commitment isn’t a reward for what you’ve done—it’s a bet on what coaches believe you can become.
The players who continue developing after they commit are the ones who thrive at the next level. The ones who stop doing the work because they think they’ve made it are usually the ones who struggle, enter the portal, or never become the player everyone thought they could be.
If your mindset is that you don’t need to keep getting better because you’re committed, you’re probably not ready to compete for a spot against players who’ve been in that program for 4-5 years and never stopped working.
A commitment isn’t the destination. It’s the opportunity.
Great weekend with my @FuryRooker team at the Bombers Southeast Invitational! My team tied for 3rd place after battling through the losers bracket! I hit a homerun, a walk off triple, and even made an awesome catch on the mound! @SoftballDaphne1@laird14
I had a great time picking up with @Steal_Powell this past weekend at Show me the Money! Saw lots of great talent! I finished the weekend batting .400! Thank you to all of the coaches who came out and watched!
@andrewtsimonson THIS. But schools should also take responsibility to look at calendars & adjust accordingly. I get teams won’t always make state, but what’s the harm in planning around it?!
About 4 weeks ago, I had a labrum repair and PAO surgery on my hip. The recovery time is 6 months. My amazing school teammates made me a fun pick me up! I’ll be back on the field in the fall! @SoftballDaphne1@laird14
