In June, Madison Scribner 2025 (2025 C/UT) put up some impressive pop time numbers 👏🏻 Using HitTrax, her top pops were… » Feet: 1.86s (0.74s exchange) » Knee: 1.87s (0.75s exchange) With similar numbers from her feet & knees, Maddy has versatility to control the run game!

You can’t perform if you’re not well. But you can boost your wellness (and perform better) by: • Eating well • Managing stress • Moving your body • Sleeping 7-8 hours • Practicing resilience • Setting aside time for play • Clarifying your goals and values

This is why we do what we do with regard to teaching a knee-down stance! If taught correctly, it allows catchers to be able to keep balls in front and control the run game while always prioritizing reception of the pitch — which is where we make the biggest impact. Listen👇🏻

I loved this Mindful Moment from Headspace this morning! I tell athletes that what they’re doing is way less important than how they’re doing it. As a coach, I believe that my job is to teach athletes how to be mentally present, engaged, and on task — for softball & beyond.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 10 years since I graduated from Tufts. At that time, I could never have imagined that I’d be a part of an athlete’s journey who would also land there, even playing the same position. The coolest full circle moment! Congrats, Erin Hersh! 🐘

There aren’t enough words to describe how proud I am of Madison Scribner 2025! From day one, she’s held the vision of becoming a college softball player, and never wavered. She’s a passionate, determined, and gritty competitor. Nichols Softball is getting a great one 💪🏻 Congrats, Maddy!

If you judge your worth by your achievements, you tend to feel worthless whenever you fall short of a goal. Building a stable foundation of confidence comes from learning to separate your performance from your self-esteem. Your accomplishments and accolades do not define you.
