“Having coached with Sammi at rep level I have complete respect for her knowledge of the game & love her coaching skill & technique. It’s fantastic seeing her around the diamonds as she inspires courage & great skills in players. My daughter, Rachel, says ‘Bloody legend. One of the more memorable coaches I've had. I'll never forget winning 13s state championships with her as my amazing batting coach! Thanks, Sammi’ 💖 Congrats Sammi on all your softball achievements & wish you a fantastic future”

You have created a sense of achievement and worth in all the members you have worked with and also mentored. Sammi, you are looked up to and admired by the youngest, right through to the oldest members of our club. You are a role model and people genuinely love being in your presence. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t smile when they think of you. Thank you for your leadership, dedication to the Peninsula softball family and most importantly your friendship through these years. Forever your fan : ) ”

Sammi Williams “The true legend of Peninsula Softball.”
Being involved in softball has been a huge part of my life and meeting people like Sammi Williams is a rare treat, something that you hang on to. Having had the awesome privilege of coaching Sammi at both Peninsula and at MWSA Rep level, I have always been inspired by “Sammi’s Words of Wisdom” which were commonly presented before our Rep games for motivation and to pull the team together. Sammi has an extraordinary level of dedication and passion for softball including the respect she has for the players that surround her.
Saturday arvo softball was always met with a huge SW smile, a hug and a little mooch (well, that’s what I got), this just set you up for a great arvo of softball… I do miss all of our motley crew SW :)
On and off the field Sammi is one of those role models everyone admires and aspires to be – she is a cherished friend and a highly respected player.
Best wishes in whatever you do Sammi xx

“Like so many families across the Club, we have benefited tremendously from Sammi’s commitment to the softball community – from her supportive and encouraging coaching to her active and thoughtful role as President of the Club. Even in the midst of some very difficult personal circumstances, Sammi has been a source of energy and inspiration to so many across the Club. Thank you for all that you’ve done for Peninsula, and for all the individuals and families like ours - whose lives you've enriched and contributed to in extremely positive ways.
