@Jason Taylor Honestly, the leap to college was about staying connected, learning from coaches, watching and understanding rules, and willing to ask questions. I knew I would walk into challenges but I embraced that as a learning curve to better myself and program, while also staying connected and talking with others along the process. If anyone wants to talk about making that transition, always happy to share!

@Jason Taylor sounds great, I’ll be there!
Building the Future — Our Coaching Philosophy & the Wolfpack Community
Welcome to the Pack Baseball & Softball Academy community. This space is about more than drills, mechanics, or game strategy. This is where we define what it truly means to be part of the "Wolfpack". Our mission is simple, but powerful: To build complete, confident, college-ready athletes and coaches through elite development, cutting-edge technology, and a family-driven culture. But here’s the truth — a mission like that can’t live through one program, one coach, or one voice. It only becomes real when "this community owns it together." At Pack, we believe leadership isn’t reserved for captains. It’s cultivated in "every athlete." On the field. In the classroom. At home. In adversity. In how they treat teammates. In how they respond when no one is watching. And the same goes for coaches. This group exists so we can sharpen each other, challenge each other, and grow together — not just as technicians of the game, but as builders of people. Let’s start that process right here: What is your coaching “why”? Not your résumé. Not your record. The real reason you show up for athletes. The moment, the mentor, the experience that shaped how you coach today. How are you using technology or data to help your athletes grow? Whether it’s video, metrics, tracking progress, communication tools, or mental performance — how are you helping athletes understand themselves better? What’s one thing you wish you had known when you first started coaching? A lesson learned the hard way. A mindset shift. A mistake that made you better. This community is how legacy is built — not through slogans, but through "shared wisdom, shared standards, and shared commitment." If you see a post that resonates with you, respond to it. If you connect with a coach’s story, reach out. If you’ve got a question, ask it. If you’ve got experience, share it. The strength of the Wolf is in the Pack. And the future of the Pack is being built right here — together. Drop your “why,” your story, or your lesson below. And make a connection with a coach you haven’t met yet.

@Jason Taylor Yes, great questions! - My Why: I think just being able to show up every day to help athletes become confident, resilient, and a better version of themselves on and off the field. I make sure we are involved in the community, having conversations outside of just practices, and connecting them through team bonding. Watching them succeed after out program is what I see as my bigger accomplishment.  - Technology: We use blast motion metrics, video breakdown through iPad, and game film to breakdown situations and build softball IQ. We also do team talks, once a week where athletes share about themselves, What’s been going well, what needs to be improved, and how can we continue to work on it. Then they share what they seen from a teammate that is a positive, I believe it’s important that players know their teammates notice the goods they do, weather its being quick to warmup a pitcher in between innings, or motivating during at bats.  - One thing I wish I had known was, Connection comes before correction. Coaching is the easiest part of the role and it isn’t just about teaching skills, it’s also about managing people, emotions and relationships. Knowing your athletes and how they learn and respond, which is different for everyone.
ChalkTalk Wednesday - Tonights Call has been Pre-Recorded for You!
Coaches, after you watch tonight’s short recording, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Every week our conversations get better because you bring your experience, perspective, and passion to the table. Tonight’s episode dives into athlete expectations, long-term development, and what it really looks like when a team has mixed goals—some chasing college ball, others playing simply because they love the game. How do you handle these situations in your own teams? What strategies or conversations have worked for you? What’s one insight that stood out from the video? Drop your thoughts below. Your input helps every coach here grow—and helps us all continue serving athletes at the highest level. Let’s build this together.

I think your take on question 1 was spot on. As a Div. II JUCO coach, many of our athletes look to get to the next level after their two years with us. When a player tells me they want to play softball at a program at the D1 level, the first thing I do is support their ambition, because big goals matter. But I also make sure we talk about what that actually requires. Honest evaluation, workload, development plan, realistic pathway’s, then my goal is to give the player a roadmap. If UCLA, for example, is truly where they want to be, we build a plan that reflects that level of commitment while also keeping multiple strong options open along the way. Sometimes opportunities pop up that can offer great experiences and opportunity that may pop their interest as well. Great take!
