I’m bringing more of the coaching side of me to TikTok. 🥎
I’ll be breaking down real softball situations—hitting, offense, defense, baserunning, pitching, catching, strategy, mindset, and the little details that can change a game.
Here’s my latest breakdown from the AUSL play-in game.
Follow me on TikTok at @coachpatrickHRM if you love learning the game. More coaching and teaching content is coming.🔥

This is the #HomeRunMindset at its core!
Greatness isn’t reserved for a chosen few, it’s a day-to-day, minute-by-minute choice. Available to everyone, but lived out by the few who choose it consistently.
GREATNESS ISN’T A FINISH LINE!
Greatness a lifestyle!💪🏻🩷🧠
"You don’t get rewarded for doing what is required."@inkyjohnson
Greatness is not given to a chosen few. Greatness is given to the few who choose to do 'more than what's required'.
To be great, you have to give great -great sacrifice, great focus, great discipline, great effort.

The players thought they were just lifting a cinderblock.
Their coach knew they were lifting the Stanley Cup.
That’s leadership.
Great coaches see the connection between today’s habits and tomorrow’s outcomes long before their athletes do.
Every drill.
Every standard.
Every rep.
Done with intention.
The best development plans don’t happen by accident.
They are built different on purpose.

Rod sneakily built in a 35 pound cinderblock lift into the Canes offseason workouts, called it “Blue Collar Presses”, and the boys never thought anything of it…
Turns out he was having them practice lifting the Cup all season long 🤯🔥

Everyone wants accountability from teammates.
Few want it from the mirror.
@fernandomendoza said something every athlete needs to hear:
Leadership starts with owning your own standard first.
That’s where respect is earned.

So proud of my girls and blessed beyond measure. 💙💛
The hard work, the growth, the memories, the moments… all of it. God is so good.
Through every season of life, God continues to show that His plans are always better than our own.
This team didn’t win a single game last year.
This year?
Undefeated conference season.
Undefeated in playoffs.
Conference champions.
We’re pushing athletes up too early in softball—and too often calling it development.
After 20 years coaching at every level of college softball (DIII → ACC) and now working on the development side…
there’s something in our game I think is worth all of us taking a closer look at... 👇
Playing up gets labeled as development a lot in softball.
I’m not sure that’s always true.
I shared some thoughts on why earlier 👇
Curious where others land on this.

In softball, we often accelerate:
10-year-olds in 14U.
Middle schoolers on varsity vs 18-year-olds.
And the system doesn’t just allow it—it often rewards it. 👇
When winning now becomes the priority, individual development often gets pushed to the side.
Not because coaches don’t care—but because the system rewards short-term results.
That’s not just playing up.
That’s sacrificing long-term individual development for short-term team results—which shows up later in confidence, leadership, and true readiness when these athletes reach the highest levels.

3-hit night on his birthday—and still choosing to serve after the game.
Different. Not because of talent… but because of the standard he lives by.
Is your standard tied to results—or who you are?

Braden Montgomery always stays after games to help clean up the dugout.
Thursday was no different for the @whitesox top prospect, even after a 3-hit night on his 23rd birthday 🎂

Trying harder might be the exact reason you’re performing worse.
The Law of Reversed Effort: under pressure, overthinking mechanics backfires. When you consciously control what should be automatic, you disrupt rhythm and tighten up.
Great performers don’t over-control—they trust their training.
Train it. Then trust it.
