Hannah still has availability for March!
I know my (Alexa) slots went super quick but we teach the same mechanics so this is a great option for those still looking to get in for March!

Alexa’s March schedule is up!
I will try to add some Saturday times if needed but those will be last minute once I know my daughters’ game times.

Hannah has a last minute opening tomorrow 2/20 at 7:30pm!

‼️MARCH ‼️
Hannah’s lessons are up if you haven’t seen yet.
Alexa’s lessons will be up tomorrow. I will post on here the second I upload it. Please don’t wait to schedule if you’re wanting to get in for March.
So excited that season is around the corner!!!

My girls brought home the ‘ship!! 🏆
11u against all 12u and they got it done 💪🏼
So proud of them! They truly feel like my own kiddos! 💜💜💜

11u chaos girls put on a show this weekend! Bringing home the championship in a 12u tournament!
So proud of that team. It’s really my first group of girls that I’ve had from the beginning of their pitching journeys since they were little ones ❤️ (still are little but you know what I mean)

Alyssa Braam 💪🏼

A new week means new Cornerstone Golden Eagles of the Week!

Congratulations to:

Alyssa Braam of Cornerstone University Softball - 9 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 14 K in two games pitching going 1-0.

Chase Holwerda of Cornerstone XC TF - Broke the Freshman and School record in the 800m with an A Standard run.

Don’t forget to sign up for the clinic focusing on the mental side of the game!!
2 weeks away! Can’t wait to pour into these young minds! Pitchers & catchers welcome!!

Your mindset leading up to and during competition can dramatically impact your overall performance.

Join Hannah and Alexa as they pour into the minds of pitchers and catchers on Sunday, February 25.

We believe catchers are a crucial piece to a pitcher’s success so we’ve extended the invite to catchers as well!

Journals and pens will be provided.

*We’ve created three age groups. If you feel your daughter is on the bubble of middle school or high school, feel free to place her into whatever slot you see fit. Each session will vary slightly based on what is age appropriate for their skill level.

Texas vs UCLA is on ESPN right now.
🥎🥎🥎

Wahoooo!!!
I highly encourage all players to WATCH the game. You can learn a lot :)

Opening Day is FINALLY here!!! 🥎

February slots filled very quickly. I apologize.
Hannah has a couple left!
Don’t let this discourage you, please take advantage of the lane rentals to get some pitching in! We give the girls things to work on outside of lessons every week.
I updated February lane rentals. However, if there is a day where maybe your daughter doesn’t have school and you want to get in earlier in the day for a lane rental, just text me, we can totally arrange that.
Same goes for random school days off/snow days etc..I can come in on those days for the most part and give a lesson!
I’ll be updating this page with any cancellations or extra time slots that I’m able to give!!
Thanks so much to you all for supporting strike 3! We certainly love these girls 💜

No more noodle batters!! Officially ordered!
While the noodles have served us well, hoping this is more realistic for the girls!!
Throw it inside right under the elbows 😤💪🏼

Ooo!!! Please read!! I have this conversation a lot!

A lot of times I see posts about kids not wanting to practice or things similar to that and then they mention their kid is between 8-12 years old. They mention things like should I push her to practice…

This may be an unpopular opinion but yes, push her to practice. If she has shown signs that she likes softball and expresses interest in being good then YES, PUSH HER.

Work ethic is learned for the most part, some kids are prodigies and may not need to be pushed or made to practice at home. (Love that for them) The majority are not like this.

How do you expect your kid to understand how to work hard and achieve their goals if you don’t push them at all?

Of course there’s a line where it’s too much and you’ll know, but pushing them and making them practice is a good thing.

I played D1 softball, I pitched and played the field. Many times I was told I wouldn’t play D1, or that I could if I didn’t pitch, or that pitching and playing a position would be too much.

Well I did it, despite the negativity because I was pushed and learned to push myself in the process.

I love love love the game of softball and I can’t picture my life without it but just like everyone else there were days where I just didn’t want to practice.

My dad always said “if you practice only 2 days you are getting worse, 3 days you maintain, and 4 days you are getting better.” He made sure I did what I needed to.

Pushing kids is a good thing, not pushing them isn’t helpful because even if they don’t play softball, they should know how to push themselves in life as well.

Remember, very few of them will get to say they are a softball player for life but the skills they learn as a softball player will make them great employees, bosses, mothers, sisters, and friends.

I know the lesson slots for February are filling up fast. I apologize. I’ll add times if I can on the weekends but I don’t know my daughters’ basketball game times yet so that’s why there’s no weekend times as of now. However, tomorrow there are now 2 open time slots at 4:30 & 7:30 with Alexa if anyone is looking to get in.

Hannah’s February schedule is posted!

Alexa’s February schedule is on the site

Heat is struggling to keep up in the facility with these temps 🥶
I just went and bought a heater but dress warmer than usual for lessons this week

I am airing on the side of caution today and cancelling lessons. (1/14)
Would never forgive myself if someone driving to lessons got into an accident.
I will add some times to tomorrow being that most schools have the day off.
I’ll reach out to those scheduled for today individually.

Business meeting with a side of two toddlers: planning for 2024
Brunching guys 💁🏻‍♀️
Hannah and I chatting today and it was brought up how lucky we are to have the families and girls that we do. So thank you for being here. Thank you for trusting us.

‼️reminder: if you or your daughter do not feel comfortable driving in the snow for lessons, please don’t hesitate to reschedule. Cancellation policy will not apply for weather related issues.
Safety is most important 💜

It’s important to take breaks for both coaching and pitching! I felt like everyone was refreshed and ready to go, including myself.
