Softball and Great Exercise
Softball
It’s great to try something new, because you meet new people, and discover something you didn’t know about. I’ve experienced a new sport, were I discovered I was good at it and I love it, and that was softball. I’m athletic; I’ve played basketball, tennis, volleyball, and soccer. The reason why I wanted to try softball was because I’ve always had an interest in it, but I never had the chance to sign up. I also thought it would benefit my health also. Softball requires lots of running so it was going to be great exercise for me. I knew it was going to take lots of practice for me to become a good softball player.
Practices were tough because, I had to do lots of running in order to be good at racing through bases. Throwing, running and stretching was required during practice. I wasn’t familiar with the rules of softball so I had to learn them, I learned quickly. Throwing the ball from a distance was difficult for me the first times, but I got the hang of it. During games I was in charge of second base. It wasn’t a difficult position, because you either had to catch the ball and touch the base or touch the runner with the ball. I was continuing practices, and was getting better at it. It took one week for me to understand the whole concept of softball, mostly because I had the help of my team.
My most significant experience in working as a part of team occurred when I was apart of the softball team. Without my teammates I wouldn’t have learned all that I know now about softball today. I was familiar with the softball players. We helped each other improve, whether it was with running, practicing drills, catching, or throwing. We never left a teammate behind. During practices we all ran as a team. During games we also chanted when the batter hit the ball. With out my team I wouldn’t have been as good as a softball player. So to me with teamwork come new friends and wonderful coaches.
Furthermore, playing softball is a sport I like to play because it’s

    There are many reasons to love softball for example, it is my best sport and I enjoy playing. Especially when I go up to bat and the feeling I get once my bat makes contact with the ball.

    Even though we didn’t win very many games, we always had fun. My coaches were amazing and always made it a great time. Our team was very close. We would hang out after games sometimes. At the end of the season we would have a game of the kids vs. the parents. It was always a great time. Slow pitch softball was my favorite sport i have ever played. It was never competitive or boring. After playing slow pitch for a couple years, i began playing fast pitch. It was a completely different experience. The coaches and players took it very seriously and it was competitive. We would have practice every day that we didn’t have games. We worked on every aspect of the game until we had it perfect. Even though i loved softball, it was not always enjoyable.…

    “Just try it.” These were the words that my dad used to encourage me to try baseball. Before this moment, soccer was the only sport I played. Since I could remember, I have always enjoyed playing soccer; attending practices of my local recreational team . As a kid at the age of 7, I loved the rush of joining the kids from both teams to recklessly chase the same ball looking like a pack of headless chickens. I felt the parents had as much fun watching the game as the kids did playing the game. Despite my enjoyment of playing soccer, I was curious to find out if I would like any other sport.…

    I believe I worked well as a team. I always tried to work well with the other staffers and to hear everyone’s input and try to make sure people who wanted to say something were able to speak. I enjoyed working with the rest of the staff and I learned how work even better with the other staffers as the summer went on and I learned how the other staffers communicated best, and expressed what they needed help with. I think one thing I learned from working as a team was that it’s important to be a good listener when you’re part of a team, and…

    They say if you love something then you should set it free. That is exactly what I did with softball and me. I invested so much time, effort, and money into the sport but what was I getting in return? Oh yeah, constant nagging, a ton of lies with a side of attitude, and having to regenerate a new set of lungs after every practice due to the excessive amount of running. Despite wanting to shoot myself during practice, I did take some valuable lessons away from playing softball.…

    Yeah people might think I’m good at baseball but nobody knows what I had to go through to get where I am today. It took me sometime to realize baseball was more than just a hobby and I'm glad I did. Without the change I wouldn't be the same athlete I am today. Today I look back on myself as the same athlete I am today even though I take baseball more seriously it's still a game it's just played differently and takes a whole lot more to continue on and play at the next level. Baseball is more than a passion, it's a…

    Softball is a sport that has meant a lot to me throughout the first two years. I used softball as an escape of stress and personal problems, it helped me forget about what was going on in the world and I never felt so relieved, but unfortunately during my third year of softball, it became the complete opposite. Softball became a place where I did not feel accepted and instead of feeling like it was a place where I can express myself, it became a place where I felt like I was not accepted. During high school I encountered classmates that criticized me and those same classmates became my teammates. I thought about quitting the team so many times because being surrounded by so much drama and negativity was something I did not need. Because…

    I entered high school with a chip on my shoulder, bitter from being the smallest and being disregarded by my classmates. This perceived injustice drove me to work extremely hard.

    I have played the game of baseball since I was six years old. Even at this age, it was considered a late start. Although I had played Tee-ball for a few years, baseball didn’t seem to really interest me until around fifth grade. When I first started playing I wasn’t that good, but I kept…
