Mike Candrea copies Sean Miller, introduces the ‘gold jersey’ to Arizona softball

Mike Candrea has accomplished every feat imaginable in the softball world.

He was won over 1,500 career games, eight national championships, an Olympic Gold Medal, and recently he was inducted into the USA Softball Hall of Fame.

He’s done it all, but his desire to compete, he says, is what keeps him going. He is currently in his 32nd year with the Arizona Wildcats, and there is no end in sight.

And when Candrea’s not coaching, he’s probably watching someone else coach.

Really.

“That’s the one thing I love doing,” he said.
