To all the girls getting calls today, congrats! That is a great opportunity to *start* exploring your options. Just keep in mind, it’s only the first month, so don’t make any rushed decisions, but also don’t burn any bridges! To the girls who don’t receive calls today or today doesn’t shape up to be what you thought it’d be, it’s only the first day!! The recruiting process is far from linear and today’s outcome certainly does not make you any less of an athlete. Popularity in the softball world and opportunity plays a big part in whether or not coaches contact you early. The girls getting calls today just have a little bit of a head start. I’ve seen many really good softball players be slow to get calls/emails from coaches just because they weren’t as well known. God has a plan for you, your time will come, and there’s a place for everyone!
