The first time anyone ever threw a softball to me at my very first practice, it hit me in the face. I wanted to quit right then and there, but I’m glad I didn’t. Softball has been a huge part of my life for over 12 years and I’ve gotten hit in the face a few times since then, but it’s my favorite thing in the whole world. Loving a sport is so much fun. The adrenaline rush you get when you’re playing in a big game is the best feeling. All athletes know how hard and tiring practice can be, but we still stick with it because in the end it is all worth it. I wish there was more of a future in softball like the Olympics or a professional program, but I know softball will be a part of my life for a long time. Softball has taken me all over the country and given me life long friendships. It even landed me here in New York City to play in college. It will never cease to amaze me how far sports can take people.
