Patty Gasso - the Dabo of softball?

Patty’s faith — first and foremost — guides her direction. It appeals to her players, some who unashamedly profess their beliefs.

It’s been an important part of this journey.

DJ (her son) admitted there are times he wished she was at his games or could pick him up at school when he was growing up.

“Looking back on it now, this is what God put her on earth to do — empower young females and to show God’s love in everything she does,” DJ said. “You’ve seen it for 30 years now, making them into great moms and great people in society."

Jim says faith drew them to Oklahoma, where Patty started coaching in 1995.

“We had never dreamed about it. We knew nothing about our purpose. At the time, it was a ‘blind faith’ type of thing. It was a God moment. We didn’t understand what we were supposed to do here. But we do now,” Jim said.

When that retirement day does come, DJ doesn’t think his mom will judge her time by the number of trophies.

“When you look back on her tenure at OU, I think the biggest thing that she takes away is just the lives she’s affected,” DJ said. “It’s how she was able to spread the love of God to others, not necessarily the championships that they’ve won.”

If Gasso could describe her program in one word? Fulfillment.

“Happiness is result-oriented,” Gasso said. “… This is more a program of fulfillment. And that is, who are we becoming? The direction that we’re going. How do we grow as women? How do we grow in our faith, and how do we find that path that we’re supposed to take?”

Needless to say, a lot is at stake for Oklahoma softball in the coming month. A winning streak, a championship streak, putting college softball on the national sports radar. But as the players say, it’s already been written. So Gasso sees something else, too: another opportunity to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

As much as it pains me to say, you're spot on. I admire her and love her for what she's accomplished and her faith. To clarify, the Only reason I say it pains me, is because she's NOT here at Clemson.

Somehow she was able to tap into that softball training program in Cali and now she can pick who she wants from that. I was hoping with Rittman's Cali connect, he'd do the same.

Give him some time. I am in total disbelief of what has been done in a brief period of time. We have a great coach and a bright future! Go Tigers!
