The Right Coach, The Right Team, The Right Athletes
Written by: Doug Bradford
Parent of: Sadie Bradford, Class of 2028, Texas Blaze National DSTX – Corona
At Extra Inning Softball, we believe the parent voice matters—and few share it with as much heart and clarity as Doug Bradford of Dripping Springs, Texas.
Doug is the proud father of Sadie Bradford, a 2028 pitcher and shortstop for Texas Blaze National 16U DSTX – Corona and a standout named to the 2024 Extra Inning Softball All Southwest Region. In this special Parent Hub article, Doug reflects on the unique dynamic of a team that’s grown up together, competed together, and supported each other both on and off the field.
From the coach’s leadership to the athletes’ bond to the families who’ve built a village around them, his story is a testament to the power of the right people coming together at the right time.
