Thanks Jeff Janssen

Tigers and Tiger Fans,

If you haven't had a chance to review this article from Jeff Janssen please check it out! It isn't for coaches only. It is for players, parents, business people, family members and anyone interested in achieving something new this 2012.

The next few hours we will all be considering our New Year's Resolutions. How about trying to use this time to go through this article and coming up with a plan for 2012!

The DePauw softball team will be trying many new things this season. (This is the part where I publicly announce my goal, read the article.)

We will be doing some boot camp style workouts as well as about 4 more (additional) team building activities from the start of the season to our Spring Training trip to Orlando, Florida. We will be hitting weighted balls during winter training. It is going to hurt our hands big time. I think I can coach the team through the discipline to hit the balls correctly that can turn out big results during April and May. Our Assistant Coaches will be given more responsibility in player development. (My control freak is going to have to take a back seat this 2012.) This not only will help our program but to give our 5 outstanding seniors and 8 outstanding juniors the opportunity to lead.

So, please read the article. Here is the link: http://www.championshipcoachesnetwork.com/public/304.cfm

And please after you read the article do something about what you want your 2012 to look like. I know my goal is to help lead the DePauw Softball Team to a National Championship.

Enjoy the New Year and thank you Jeff Janssen!
Sincerely,
Coach Skrenta

Halloween Pictures

Looks like some members of the team had fun this Halloween on campus. The five seniors went as the Spice Girls and looks like a mix of the Juniors, Soph's and First years went as the village people.

Enjoy.

Video, thanks Holly!

This fall break Holly Paris edited the team's video from the end of last season for you to all enjoy. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. (The foggy softball day was on top of Mt. Eagle when we had a double header vs. Sewanee.)

Enjoy!
