Game Time (Almost)


Well.... Only five days until your 1st scrimmage. How are you feeling? On the 25th we will travel to Northwest- and we will be seeing a good team. This could be the beginning to an awesome season.... It is all up to you! We need to focus and apply ALL the abilities that we have- Teamwork, Fundamentals, Heart, Hussle, and Skill...

I am proud of the way you have worked this week- I know it doesn't feel like Softball Season when your inside, but preparation is a key to success! I can tell a HUGE difference in our physical fitness drills- You are much closer to being in shape!

Tiara Grider came up from JV this week- I have been impressed with her determination!

Nicole & Shella have been working together on turning double plays- Teamwork will take us far!!! I love to hear the two of you communicating with each other-

Calli- Awesome job calling pitches at practice last night! Putting pitches in the right spot will help you pitcher out a lot. Remember that you are a leader- The catcher can see almost everything... you have to keep your team motivated....

Same for you Miss Holly- Center Field has a great view of the field.... You can practice your cheering voice out there by being a team leader... your positive upbeat attitude will uplift your team, but at the same time it puts a load on your shoulders.... You must stay positive at all times and attempt keeping the team motivated!

Kacey has been doing a great job stretching out and scooping up bad balls! (which she shouldn't have to do!) We need your bat this year... Keep working on quick bat and putting your hips into it... & don't wear your heart on your sleave, because it might get dirty! Listen to what others say, and then use that to grow. You have to be strong and don't let things get to you- If you can learn to do this now... it will make the rest of your life a lot easier (trust me on that one!)

Aryn- I have noticed in the last few days that you are a good listener. You are always listening to criticism and improving from it.... that will get you far in life. Don't get upset when someone corrects you... that is just part of life in general! Just do your best and you will continue to get better-

QUOTE OF THE DAY: Fresh cut grass. dragged dirt, ring of a bat, a diving catch, a blocked ball, sweating, bleeding, diving into home. What is not to love?
