The sun was beating down on my back, sweat dripping down my already terrified face. I was about to make one of the most important phone calls of my life to date. This one, single phone call was the make or break point of my future college softball career. It was the call to one of my dream schools.

Of course though, I couldn’t but I was in the process of getting there. This game…
