All-American catcher Kayla Kowalik says the entire Kentucky softball coaching staff has taught her a lot the last three years.
“One of the things I love about our coaching staff is that they are all women and I feel like relating to them on a more personal level is so much easier,” Kowalik said. “I think coach Lawson is great, and that is not sarcastic. I think so highly of her. She has taught me so much and has been there for me.
“I couldn’t speak highly enough for our coaching staff. I love them so much and I am so grateful for the opportunities they have given me and our team and all the work they do making sure we get through this part of our life and move on fully prepared.”
Kowalik even thinks her and Lawson are much more alike than she ever imagined.
“As much as I hate to say this, I feel like we are almost the same person as far as sarcasm goes. We are very sarcastic. I love bickering with her in the bullpen,” Kowalik said.
“That is something that has changed since freshman year because then I was afraid to speak in the bullpen and she used to bully me for it. Now I never shut up and that’s on her. That is her fault. She brought me out of my shell.”
