Words to remember from @PurdueSoftball pitcher and Big Ten Jackie Robinson Community & Impact Award winner Emma Bailey.
After 4 years at Purdue, I have entered the portal as a graduate transfer. I am so thankful to have been a Boilermaker and am looking forward to what’s ahead in my softball journey.

A bad coach tears people down. An average coach focuses only on results. A good coach teaches skills and systems. A great coach builds confidence and trust. An exceptional coach helps people believe in themselves at a higher level. And the best coaches impact lives long after the scoreboard stops mattering.
She continues to shine in the community and beyond ⭐️
Another congratulations to our Jackie Robinson Community & Impact Award honoree, @EmmaBailey2022!
