Pitchers

 
Pitchers
Fear never crosses the mind of a girl with drive.
She stands there eying the batter with determination to strike her out.
The wind let lose and a swing and a miss.
The next pitch flying in at 75 miles an hour, Whoosh and a strike and a miss for strike two.
The final pitch, the final wind up to strike her out.
Swap right and in the catchers glove.
As the batter walks away with disappointment, a slight smirk over comes the proud pitcher.

My Game

 My Game
The game or the crazy people playing in the snow and rain
The ones spending hours of their time in the off season and the season
Giving everything they have to win that game or make the varsity team
Showing up with busted up knees and blistered hands
Making friendships that will last a life time

Having Mom and Dad yell catch that ball or follow it all the way
The loud cheers coming from all directions of the field
Giving a 110% everyday whether you feel like it or not

The game I love
Softball
Its My Game

Role Models

A big part of why I started playing softball was because of  a very particular person; this person is Jordan Barnett. Jordan is an amazing softball player and taught me a lot while being my coach. When I first saw Jordan playing softball, I told myself that someday I want to play just like her. Not only is she an incredible softball player,but she is also a good influence for young people. She has a great work ethic that has gotten her to where she is today. Not only that, she is also helping us try to get a softball program going in our high school so the people that share the same love as her can enjoy softball too.  Jordan has gone to college, but I still look up to her.  She has given me my drive to play softball in high school. She will always be my role model, not only softball, but everything I do in life.

This is a good website as far talking about the history of softball. This website gives good information because it tells you how and where softball first started. This is one the best websites I found that truly shows the  meaning of softball and what it is about.
