ARLINGTON, TX - We're excited to have Coach Samantha Griffeth leading and investing in student-athletes at Arlington Baptist University! 

Coach Griffeth brings years of experience in player development, recruiting guidance, and competitive coaching at the select, high school, and collegiate levels. A former member of the 2001 UIL Class 3A State Championship softball team at Sanger High School, she has continued to build a career centered around developing athletes both on and off the field.

Throughout her coaching career, Coach Griffeth has helped athletes reach the collegiate level through private instruction, mentorship, and recruiting advocacy across the DFW Metroplex. She also helped lead Founders Classical Academy to a basketball state championship and a volleyball state semifinal appearance in 2015, while guiding the softball program to its first state tournament appearance in school history.

In addition to her coaching success, Coach Griffeth's personal story reflects faith, perseverance, and purpose after overcoming a life-threatening battle with COVID pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism in 2021. Her journey continues to inspire the athletes and families she impacts every day.

"Coaching is about so much more than wins and losses," said Griffeth. "It's about building relationships, developing character, and helping student-athletes become the person God created them to be both on and off the field. I'm honored for the opportunity to continue pouring into the next generation at ABU."

Arlington Baptist Softball looks forward to continued growth under Coach Griffeth's leadership and passion for developing champions in competition, faith, and life.
