“After graduating from college, I knew that softball was going to be a part of my life,” Doyle said. “Giving back to the game, which gave so much to me, is everything. I can honestly say that I love what I do.”
Doyle starred at Atascocita High School before beginning her collegiate career at Galveston College. She then transferred to Southern Arkansas University, where she started two seasons at shortstop and earned NFCA Division II Scholar Athlete All-American honors.
After college, Doyle kicked off her coaching journey as an assistant at C.E. King High School, eventually landing her first head coaching job at Aldine.
“I just love the atmosphere at Aldine High,” she said. “I love the administration, but mostly I love working with my girls. They’re so fun and coachable. They have a great bond, which is something I really try to promote. We all have the same mindset—to play hard, turn some heads, and win games.”

As a softball lifer, Doyle has shaped her coaching style by drawing from her own experiences as a player.
“I’ve had some great coaches—and some bad ones,” she laughed. “Honestly, you learn the most from the bad ones, by figuring out how not to run a program.
“My coach, Corey Lyon at Southern Arkansas, has been a huge mentor for me. I know if I ever have a question, he’ll always pickup the phone. He really gave me the confidence to step into this profession.”
For Doyle, her biggest lesson as a young coach comes down to one word: trust.
“Building relationships and trust with your players is what I believe in,” she said. “If that’s established, your program will be in a good place. Good or bad, you have to be honest with your players. If that bond is there, they’ll run through a wall for you—and they know I’ll go to the mat for them, too.”
Wise beyond her years, Doyle is helping turn Aldine Softball into something special.
