DC Elite Softball dishing out insight that will keep you a cut above the rest!

As the competition for college recruitment intensifies, showcasing your talents effectively becomes crucial! College coaches, who are often in search of the next great player, have specific skills and attributes they look for during our Star Showcases! Understanding what these skills are can give athletes the edge they need to significantly boost their chances of making a lasting impression!

Fundamental Skills: Players should demonstrate consistency in executing the basic skills like proper throwing mechanics, catching techniques, and hitting fundamentals
Game Awareness: Coaches look for player decision-making skills and awareness on the field to see how players anticipate the game and demonstrate their ability to read high-pressure situations.
Work Ethic and Attitude: College Coaches want players who are not only talented but also hard-working and dedicated. Demonstrating a strong work ethic during warm-ups, the game, and off the field will leave a lasting impression.
Mental Toughness: Softball can be as much of a mental game as it is physical. College coaches appreciate players who can stay composed under pressure, bounce back from a mistake, and remain focused throughout the entire game.
Coachability: Displaying a willingness to learn and adapt is vital to increasing your chances of being recruited while at one of our Star Showcases. College Coaches are looking for athletes who are open to feedback and can apply it on the field. Showcasing your coachability during the games can indicate that you are ready to play at the next level!
