What's this?

These were her quotes when she was hired


From my preview article two years ago:

“We have a home run mindset,” Patrick-Swift says. “Offensively, every time our girls step into the box, it doesn’t matter the situation, it doesn’t matter the count, it doesn’t matter how many outs there are – Our kids are trying to run it out of the yard. Most kids grown up thinking that homeruns happen by you taking big swings and by accident. We’re trying to be intentional about it.”

“Our mindset is that everyone has power,” she says. “It’s just a matter of if they believe they can get out there and hit home runs…. For the individual, it’s also about swinging at balls she knows she can hit out whether it’s a strike or a ball.” Patrick-Swift calls it, “an individualized home run zone.”

It's certainly an interesting philosophy
