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. I started playing softball in fifth grade‚and I loved it all with a burning

I swung the bat vainly as the softball flew towards me. It was May‚ and I was struggling through the softball unit in gym class. As expected‚ the bat missed by more than a foot. “Try aiming a little lower‚” my teacher instructed. I began to go red as I missed yet again‚ even though I was trying his advice. The pitcher wasn’t very good at throwing the ball‚ so several balls kept simply hitting the ground. However‚ I was missing the softball every time that the pitch was at least somewhat tossed well

When I was eight years old I started playing softball. As the years went by‚ the game became more serious to me and now‚ as a senior in high school‚ my life revolves around the sport that I love. Digging my cleats into the soft dirt infield and smelling the freshly cut grass is truly my favorite thing. The triumphant feeling that I get when my team does something good such as: hitting a homerun‚ striking out a batter‚ or winning a big game. February to April may be a bit cold and dreary to other

Softball has become an important part of my life ever since I joined the Centennial Lakes Little League in 2010. This was my first sport and I had never been on a team before. I had no prior sports skills because I had never played any before this one. The day I walked into the facility for the first time I knew it was just my first day of softball‚ but what I did not know was that it was the first day I would shape my personality and discover my priorities. Being only eleven years old I was not

Learning to play softball is tricky. You have to learn all the terms‚ how to pitch‚ the legal and illegal moves‚ etc. Although‚ there is a lot to learn it’s a fun sport. I remember when i started. My first practice was horrible. Some stuff was easy for me to catch onto‚ but some not so much.I tried everything to stay motivated‚ but when I felt I was getting in the way I sat in the dug out. Coach soon sent us home and he held me back for a minute begging me not to lose hope. So i didn’t.

The summer of 2016 was the first year I played on a travel softball team. The Dawg Daze tournament in Sandusky‚ Ohio‚ held at the beginning of August every year is a World Series qualifier. For the 18u CNY Monsters‚ August 5th to 8th was the best weekend of all softball tournaments. Softball is not a necessity to my future‚ as John Hopkins only has a club team‚ but softball has helped me learn about my future.

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

Alexis Peppars Peppars 1 Mrs. Starmer Senior Humanities 28th November 2012 Redemption Softball isn’t just a sport‚ it’s a passion. Last year‚ in a softball game‚ I tripped and cause us to get all three outs. My team‚ as well as my coach‚ was very upset. As a consequence‚ I sat the next two innings out. Sitting alone and thinking about how my mistake could cost us the game‚ I felt as though I needed to prove to my team that I didn’t mean to and that I could help get the game

vigorous‚ it ended dexterously. This day was filled with excitement and motivation‚ but most of all it boosted my confidence. I did something never anticipated to do. It was the day that I had been contemplating for weeks. It was finally my first softball game as an Outlaw‚ and I was as nervous as long-tailed dog in a room full of rocking chairs. I was determined to defeat the rival team as the pitcher. I wasn’t feeling very confident in the first few innings of the game. Then‚ it hit me. Something
