[Peyton Gonet @PeytonGonet]

Thank you @yeslekthomp and @jwccsb for a great camp today! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot about the program. Appreciate the opportunity and can’t wait for the next one! #rollwood

[Chris Ewell @CoachChrisNC]

The grind isn’t glamorous. It’s repetitive, exhausting, and often unnoticed. That’s why so few are willing to embrace it.

[Rachel Coleman @_coachrachel]

To every player posting on TikTok about the negative side of playing college softball…

Your experience is your experience, and you’re entitled to share it.

But no one is forcing you to play. You can always choose to be a NARP.

To everyone else: don’t let one athlete’s experience become your opinion of an entire program.

What one player sees as miserable, another sees as an opportunity.

Mindset & Perspective matter.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

I don’t care what level of college you play (or played).
You’re one of the 7% of HS athletes to do it, and that’s something to be really proud of.

College coaches want to be wanted, just like you want to be wanted.

They want players who genuinely want to be at their school.

[Matt Lisle @CoachLisle]

Your value as a coach is not dictated by your qualifications, winning record, or how passionate you tell everyone you are.
It’s in your ability to consistently impact and improve the performance of those that you lead.

2030 & 2031. I appreciate the emails / follows. but go play softball and relax!!

You don't need coaches at your games... be a kid and play the game like no one is watching!

Post a video of some good things. Enjoy the process but please hear me... You will burn yourself out!
