My Passion To Play Softball

Decent Essays
Softball has always been a passion me and my father shared. Having the passion to be good at softball is how my father and I bonded. Having the bond for softball made him want to push me to make me the player I am today. It was always my dream to play softball in college. My dad would always take me to college games and tell me to watch carefully. He was a strong believer of if you watched the game carefully you would learn the same techniques. To me I never believed in it until I got older. I would catch myself using the same techniques the actual college softball players were using once I was old enough to understand. My father would pushed me to actually want to be the best at the sport I cared the most for because when I was younger I could

    For most of my life I have played competitive softball. Throughout softball my career, I have witnessed many different types of parents and players. Every parent acts differently when it is their child on the field playing. Some are enthusiastic, and others are just chilling on the stands. Over the years I have managed to narrow different types of softball moms into three different categories: the Number One Fans, the Crazies, the Wanna Be Coaches, and the Fun Suckers.…

    When you look back on pictures of your early childhood, you realize how much enjoyment you had in the past, playing the sport you loved. For me, it was playing softball ever since I was a little girl and watching my sister play ball and longing to be just like her. I remember the long Friday nights that I thought would never end because of practice or the early Saturday mornings waking up at six o’clock to be at the field ready for warm up for another full day of softball. Looking back on those times, I reminisce but do not regret any of those moments. It made me a better person inside and out; it allowed me to develop critical leadership abilities, communication skills, confidence and self-poise that still carry with me today.…

    Leeman Bennett once said, “A winner is someone who sets their goals, commits themselves to those goals and then pursues their goals with all the ability that God has given them. That requires someone who believes in himself or herself, who will make self-sacrifices, work hard, and maintain the determination to perform at the best of their ability” (“Running”). This is the mind set of every great softball player, and in order to have this mind set, players must acknowledge and appreciate the history of the sport. Understanding that softball is a unique sport with a rich history that has greatly impacted the world and has both influenced and been influenced by all of the people it involves is an important aspect of being successful in the sport.…

    It all started in third grade when my parents got an email asking if I wanted to do traveling softball. I had just finished my first season of VAA softball and my friend Katie and I decided it sounded like fun. I didn't really know what it meant to be on a travelling softball team back then, I just thought it would be as laid back as VAA. My first year I loved it and I had lots of fun and made lots of new friends. I would practice with my dad often so that I could get better.…

    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. Softball has impacted me by teaching me indispensable lessons.…

    Even as a little fifth grader, new to volleyball, at the height of 4’10, I grew a love for setting and trained for it as often as I could. For my first two years of playing I never was on an actual team, but anytime I got to work in the gym I would automatically want to be setting. Once I entered seventh grade and middle school ball started I strived even harder to get the spot as setter, but for it being my first year I was okay with not being chosen as a setter. Once my eighth grade season started though, everything changed. I still was able to set for club, but my school coach had other opinions.…
