This beautiful game brought an incredible group of people together. They left it all on the field for each other. Always hard to have a season like this one come to an end, but eternally grateful to have this team and what they have meant to me and my family 🧡🖤

Lucky to spend my days alongside women who lead with strength, heart, and purpose— Who build up the person first, long before the athlete. No place I’d rather be 🧡 Happy National Coaches Day! 🫶

Hot take - there’s never been a better time to be a softball pitcher. Best way to improve is being held accountable for squared up balls and competing for a better version of that pitch. No matter what the strike zone looks like, it’s fun to make your stuff unhittable 🙂‍↕️
