University of San Diego Softball Assistant Coach

[Joshua Trevino @JoshuaTrevino_]

Thankful beyond words for my time as a Coach at Texas State University - and I cannot speak highly enough of the people I have come to know at this beautiful place. I have decided to step away from college coaching for a bit, a decision made with lots of love and introspection♥️

[Nikki Kay @NikkiKaySN1]

4 years ago @UCLAWBB let me spend a day with the team
I learned that at the end of every practice
@CoachCoriClose has players write their "Went Wells" in a journal- documenting what *went well* during the session.
At the start of this tourney I asked Coach about her went wells for 2026

10-80-10 Leadership Principle

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day discusses the 10-80-10 principle with behavior and how he maximized his 10% elite players to lead the middle 80% to win a title in 2024.

10% are elite, 10% are defiant, and then the rest are the 80%.

How are you using your leaders to build culture?

Happy Manager Appreciation Week!

Grateful for my softball manager experience at Arizona State working for @Trisha_Ford @Jkolaitis33 @coachcbartlett.

An opportunity to truly learn from some of the best in the business. Grateful for my time as a student manager!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

"I like when we come in the next day, and we can't tell whether it was a win or a loss."

Results are earned, not chased.
Your identity is not in the outcome; it's in the work.
Outcomes change.
The work doesn’t.

[MJ Knighten @CoachMJKnighten]

Week One ✅ Blue Team came back STRONG. Started Week Two with yoga, unreal views, and alumni connection. Locked in and ready to handle business before first pitch 👏🏾🔥

[Coach VJ @VeraJoBustos]

Failure is an event, not an identity.

Failure is something that happens to you, it is not who you are.

Failure is meant to refine you.
Not define you.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Jay Wright was asked, "What advice do you have for young athletes that want to play professionally?"

He didn't hesitate.

He gave 4 words. But the explanation might be even better than the 4-word sentence.

Here's what he said and why it works:

Jamie Morrison on teams passing on him as an NCAA head coach before he was hired at Texas A&M: "It's fueled me every day. It's in the back of my head. It got me here. I don't think coaching is valued enough. I was told I would not be able to recruit. It's about creating relationships, and that's one of my specialties."

[San Diego Toreros @USDToreros]

When @USDSoftball's Natalie McCliman and @USDswimdive's Skyler Horder saw a need in their community, they took action, launching a hygiene drive to support local women experiencing homelessness.

He gave 3 things every leader must master.
