I recently caught up with Liz Jagielski,she is the GM for the IL Orland Park A's, I asked her to tell me a little about her Orland Park A's and their upcoming season and what she strives for as GM.
Thanks Liz, look forward to a longer interview in the future.
Liz Jagielski (Bouck), a former DePaul All-American,In 2010, Jagielski teamed with Lenti and Cat Osterman in being honored as the BIG EAST Conference Coaching Staff of the Year---Jagielski's third such honor since 2007. Working as a slap coach , Jagielski has mentored some of the best slappers in the country.
Following her collegiate career, Jagielski was chosen in the first round of the National Pro Fastpitch League by the Arizona Heat. She was traded to the Texas Thunder and led their offense with a .299 batting average. Her second year in the League landed her in Chicago, playing for the Chicago Bandits, a team coached by Eugene Lenti.
Liz Jagielski-The goal of the Orland Park A's travel softball program is to develop and promote the ideals of responsibility, hard work, sportsmanship, and teamwork. The individual growth of our athletes comes from training with our skilled coaching staff, competition, and discipline. These goals will be accomplished by providing athletes with an understanding of the fundamental and mental approach to the game of softball.
Our philosophy is that all athletes must play to improve at the 10U-13U levels. It is essential that athletes are given the chance to all play in championship play as well as weekday games. We believe this helps athletes with the mental aspect of the game and dealing with success as well as failure. Our 14U-18U age groups are geared to win. Last year our 16CSD team won the Chicago ASA Metro, qualified for PGF National as well as our 18SS and 18NS teams qualified for both ASA and Premier nationals.
We are lucky to have talented teams within our area that help our program get better every season. We have teams such as Bandits, Hawks, Lightening, Sparks, TaylorMade, Wasco Diamonds, Sharks and many more that rank in the top teams in the country. The stronger our area gets the more our Midwest players will be recruited. Every athlete that competes in college no matter what level will be able to learn teamwork, time management, leadership, and respect. This in turn will produce responsible young woman with confidence in the work force that one day will hopefully give back to the sport.
I am excited for the upcoming season and wish everyone a safe, fun, successful season! Go Midwest!
