SFS Athletic Training

Athletes put Thousands of hours in to prepare for greatness. Yes, some don't need to put in as much, while others have to work extremely hard.

For those that work extremely hard, the feeling of success is appreciated on an entire different level because they know how long it took to get to this point!!!

Proud of you Maddy!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@maddy.blair3

I remember when Kyla couldn't hit the ball pass the dirt. Now she hits the ball further than I can see!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@greatwallofky_deck

Many of our highlights feature our athletes hitting for power! But something you may not know is that we work hard at building our small ball game as well!!!

Great job @kyndal.williams_2024 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽!

Congrats Brooke on your first of many High School homeruns! Keep up the good work!!! You've come a long way from where you started!!! Proud of you!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@brooke.waltonn

I will never get tired of teaching kids entering this game. This bunt represents more than getting on base. This bunt represents the beginning of an athletes career who understands, "do what you need to" to get on base!

If Riley sticks with it, I guarantee you will see her name in the bright lights one day. And it all started with this simple bunt!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Mariana has been pounding the Right-Center gap, hitting 3 doubles in the last two games. Pitchers have been trying to beat her on the outside, but she's doing a great job executing her Gap to Gap approach!

Keep making things happen Mari! I'm super proud of you!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@mariana_.garciaa

Lexi is example of how hard work pays off! This freshman is proving her worth by executing with her bat to earn her playing time! Proud of you Lexi!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@lexi.nolen

It's one of those proud parent moments to see both of your kids playing on the same team, at the same time. It's another proud moment to see them hit bombs in the same game! Great job Crabtree Sisters, proud of you! Kudos to you mom for pushing them to their true potential! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@independenthinker13 @kodi_crabtree @allisyn_crabtree

Love her effort to get extra bases! Keep killing it out there Tawnie!!! Proud of your 1st High School Homerun!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@tawniemozeris2024

It's time for another Daughter vs. Dad Challenge!

As a Dad, I can honestly say, our brains think we can still hit like we were young, but our body just doesn't move the same! 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for participating @moose6054 ! Great thing is, your daughter @macie_thomas23 looks great!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Senior year and she's a beast!!!

Nope, she wasn't a great player when she began.

Nope, she wasn't the best when high school began. Matter fact, she quit because she didn't think she would ever be good enough.

But she kept working, and working, and working!!!

Many people doubted her, and many coaches looked passed her, but she knew her worth. That's why she kept working!

Now, in her senior year of high school, she is having a breakout year and has officially signed her letter of intent to play in college.

The goal isn't to be the best 14 year old. This is a marathon. Who is willing to run the entire race? Some of the best will quit, and some will mature at a later stage in life!

Congrats Taylor on your journey! When you tell your story, it will inspire millions of young ladies that follow in your footsteps! ❤️❤️❤️

@taylor.caccavale

The major accomplishment videos continue to come in daily. This young lady has done a complete swing overhaul. She has worked her butt off to get to this stage. Very proud of you Ella and the work you have put in!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@ellawolff06

Yes, we all love the long ball, but watch this example of leadership!

Most people hit a home run and walk into the dugout to receive pats on the back. Watch how Shaylee returns to the batters box after her homerun to give advice to her teammate on what to expect!

This is leadership!!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@shaylee.zaitz

Last years season was cancelled due to Covid, so Tatum came out this year ready to rock!!! Congrats on your first of many college home runs!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@tatum.chestnut

When you are a freshman playing Varsity, there is a lot of pressure for you to perform. But once you prove your capabilities, a weight is lifted off your shoulders. Great job Kyla! Proud of you!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@greatwallofky_deck

Welcome to the Dinger Club Aubrie!!! You've worked hard to EARN this!!! Proud of you!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@aubrie_lackey

I love hearing success stories from our SFS College Athletes.

Super proud of you @giannamemoli ! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

Way to go Kodi!!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@kodi_crabtree

One of the most challenging things about being an instructor is the criticism you get from coaches when an athlete you work with doesn't have peak performance.

I mean, if that is the case, should I criticize your ability to teach defense when athletes on your team make a fielding error? 🤔🤔🤔

SFS Dads are beginning to prepare for the challenge. Tee work at home, and training at local batting cages! 🤣🤣🤣

The best thing about these challenges are that they give parents a better perspective of what their daughters face and the difficulty of squaring a ball up!

Great work Bella and Sam! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@bells.mora @mrs.sammora

The longer we're in business, the more lessons we learn. One of the biggest lessons we've learned is that these little kids don't stay little their entire life! In the blink of on eye they go from a runny nose kid to making an adult decision for which college they want to attend.

Creating a high profile swing is not easy. It takes time to develop the necessary muscle memory for a consistent swing path.

We've learned that if we teach a young athlete to ONLY hit ball on ground, we have to spend countless hours later in their journey to recreate a Gap to Gap approach.

So to avoid recreating their swing in 14U or later, we starting teaching everyone the same approach from day one. The results have not proven us wrong. Our younger athletes are definitely making impacts on their teams.

Way to work ladies! We've still got a long road ahead!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽

@radocakes @_j_rado_

You know what time it is! Another Dad tried to take on his daughter!!! Good try Jason!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
