the weather outside is... delightful!

How exciting, to have such a nice warm day to work outside!!!

I was very excited to see some new faces today- Our team/family is coming together...

If I had to choose a strong point... I think it would be EFFORT- I like to see hustle and heart on the field!!! I realize that all the conditioning isn't exactly what you look foward to, BUT it makes you stronger players, which makes us a stronger team!

The coaches were standing around after practice today... and we were talking about "who" we noticed- Who stood out to you? Who do you think gave 150%? When you think we aren't watching you... we really are!!! We have a great chance at a winning season... but it will take hard work and effort... which we have seen this far! I am EXCITED! I want you to be EXCITED!

Seniors- I was in your shoes about 6 years ago- I remember that "I can't wait to graduate!!!" feeling that burnt inside of me for 4 long years of high school. The good thing is... it's not over yet. You have the rest of you life to work... Enjoy this last season of softball...

In a few years, I PROMISE... you will look back and wish you would have tried just a little harder... or studied just a few more minutes... Learn from the mistakes we have all made- you can't fix the past- what's done is done- BUT... you can change the future- I coached you guys as freshman, and I cannot believe how much you have grown up and improved- You girls are special to me, and I hope you will give me, as your coach... everything you have for the next 3 months! I will always be here for you... anytime... (between 8-10 hahaha)

I would LOVE to hear more encouraging words and uplifting from you all! I always say, "Help each other out!" Tell someone when they are doing a good job or working hard- Everyone loves to be complimented! "Good Hustle!"- "Nice Try!" - " Keep it up!"... I think you might get the point!

Less than 20 days before our first scrimmage... We have a lot of work to do...

It isn't the hours you put in...
It is what you put in to the hours!
