I felt butterflies in my stomach as I stepped into the batters box. The first pitch was a strike and then the next three pitches were balls. The kid that batted in front of me had the same count count and he got a changeup down the middle and hit the ball to right field. So as I was standing in…

“Either you run the day, or the day runs you.” Jim Rohn said this and it powerfully connects to me. The quote means, are you killing time aimlessly or exploiting it purposefully. I try to live everyday with at least one goal, a purpose, an objective. My life can best be described by a softball stolen from a field, memories of my family, and my future career. A softball is a symbol of my life. My life would be completely different if I didn’t play softball. I wouldn’t rush to practice every day…

However, the Spring of 2017 wasn’t just a dream of playing baseball. Playing baseball became very real when we earned the opportunity to play in the championship game of the Roff…

the plate. Baseball catchers have to go through a lot of strength training and drills to gain that ability to have the right stance and be able to keep that position and be able to change positions when needed.

Why Sportsmanship is Important in Educational Athletics When I first started playing baseball at the age of six years old my coach asked us the same question before and after every game and practice. He would say “What’s the first rule of baseball?” To which we would all reply, “Have Fun!” He would then ask, “What’s the last rule of baseball?” To which we would also reply, “Have fun!” Although this may sound like a childish thing that a 6U baseball team would say, he continued this until 8U,…
