Janiva Willis was a former player of mine before she went on to play college ball. It feels just like yesterday that, at the end of every team practice she would ask me to work with her on various softball skills. Totally committed to continually improve her skills as she was committed to worthwhile causes in her life. She was a very special person. My deepest condolences to her friends and family. She will be missed by a lot of people. Here's an article about her.
