Head Coach Patty Gasso expresses her gratitude to the Oklahoma Sooners Softball team, fans, and community. Coaching this program has been a life-changing honour, and every moment spent with the Sooner family has been a gift beyond measure.
As we enter on another season with the potential to make history, I’d like to take a time to reflect, thank you, and reiterate my love for this program and everyone who has been a part of it.
To My Players, Past and Present: You are this program’s heartbeat. Every day, you offer passion, tenacity, and unrelenting commitment to the game we all love. You believed in the vision, trusted the process, and worked hard to bring our program to new heights. Your commitment and dedication are not unappreciated. This journey is about more than simply titles; it’s about the sisterhood we create, the lessons we learn, and the legacy we leave behind. Whether you worn the crimson and cream years ago or are just starting out with us, know that you are always a part of the Sooner family.
To our fans: Sooner Nation, you are the greatest in the universe. Your constant support motivates us. The way you pack the stands, travel across the country, and rally behind these athletes is absolutely remarkable. You have helped transform this program into a powerhouse, and your belief in us, even in the most difficult times, is what keeps us going.
I have felt your love for decades, and I will never take it for granted. Thank you for standing with us, for raising these young women up, and for making Oklahoma Softball more than simply a team; it’s a movement.
The Sooner Softball program owes its success to the efforts of previous coaches, staff, and fans. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to manage this program, train these incredible athletes, and watch the magic we make together.
As we chase history, remember that we are doing it for all of you. This season is about more than just winning a fifth consecutive national championship; it’s about showcasing everything that makes Oklahoma Softball exceptional. Thank you for believing in us. Let’s make this an occasion to remember.
With love and thanks.
Coach Patty Gasso
