THE ME I'LL GROW TO BE

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thanks for signing me up to play ball. I love that you want me to give it my all.

Playing with friends and learning the game, coming together as we become one.

During this journey please let me be free, to run and throw and fall on my knees.

Making mistakes is how I will get better, today, tomorrow, and forever.

Sometimes its easy, sometimes its hard, sometimes I’ll win and sometimes I’ll fall.

Trial and error may make me pout, but that’s not what I should be thinking about.

So you think you want to play softball in college and you want to go to Oklahoma, Alabama, Florida State, UCLA, or Michigan.

Do you have any idea what it takes to play in college, let alone at the highest level of Division I?

Parents, players, and travel coaches lets get real. To play at that level you have to be one of the most talented and confident athletes in the country at your age level and position, be a great student, show promise that you can get better, have a great work ethic and attitude, be COACHABLE, disciplined, resilient, unselfish, and a great teammate.
