He's a great coach and i'm so glad that he got me started in this and I have stuck with it. He's the person who gave me motivation to work hard and get rid of my excuses. If I don't feel like going to practice that day he always reminds me that the work will pay

    There has been bruises, cuts, scrapes, tears, sprains and breaks but they’ve all been worth it. The five A.M. wake ups, the long, midnight drives home, and the early Sunday practices are all worth it. Worth feeling the rush of rounding third, ready to score or the feeling of the ball jumping off the bat. Throughout my twelve years of experience, I have made countless sacrifices for softball but they have all been worth it because of the way the game has influenced me as a person and my life overall.
