Dani Sally, 23 years old, poses with her softball equipment in the Crescent Valley softball field dugout on February 5th, 2024. Dani is a softball coach at CV and has coached for five years total, three of them being at the high school level. She has been playing softball for 16 years and still participates in tournaments in her spare time. When asked why she wanted to become a coach, she said "softball made me who I am today. It taught me how to manage a schedule, self motivate, and self advocate. I want to give those lessons back to help shape other student athletes". Dani's favorite thing about coaching softball is watching athletes grow not only as athletes but as people at well. Outside of coaching, Dani regularly plays softball as well as participating in league bowling. She is working on her masters in accounting and currently works as a med tech in a county jail.
