What do college players do during the summer?
In one case evident at the Atlanta Legacy Invitational today, current SEC standout first baseman Kassidy Krupit is putting her Sport & Entertainment Management degree to good use.
The junior first baseman for the South Carolina Gamecocks, who hit .301 this year with a .359 on-base percentage and had 45 RBIs in 52 games, is giving back to the next wave of softball players by coaching not one, but two East Cobb Bullets teams.
Assisting for the 16U squad from New Jersey as well as being the head coach of another team, a 14U squad, Kassidy not only has the DI experience to share with younger athletes, she also has the fire to help young softballers get better.
“I want to go into collegiate coaching because of my passion for the game,” she said today after calling pitches for Bryan Garrett’s 16U Bullets team which was winning big before a lightning storm put a premature end to the day’s contests.
Extra Inning Softball’s Brentt Eads caught up with Kassidy today to learn more about her aspiring coaching career… here’s the interview:
