As a young 8 year old little league baseball player watching the big screen tv, watching my favorite players wishing that one day I would be that big leaguer playing on tv having kids watch me and wish for the same dream and same success. Some people may same its to big of a dream or that it will never be me on that screen playing in the fields of legends, angles, and dreams but to this day I sit here and tell myself to dream big and keep dreaming because there is always a chance and there can never be doubt in your own mind if you truly believe in the goal of becoming what you want to become. Now grown up 16 years young I go to the field everyday knowing that in a year I will be walking up that stage to graduate and walk up to the stage of the MLB draft room and be congratulated by the commissioner and the other players in the room.
When I was younger, I always wanted to be someone famous like a singer, an actress, or even an astronaut. But one day I came across a sport, but this was not just any boring sport to me, it was a sport that I knew I wanted to do for a career or even until I grew old. It might just be a ball and bat to some people but to me it felt more than a sport. It felt like an endless vacation from everything going bad in my life. That sport is softball.
When you have a dream like I do, you don’t get to really make much time for parties or stuff like that. Yeah, you can go have fun every now and then, I'm a kid... What I am trying to say is that you can´t let ¨fun¨ take away from your time in baseball to get better. I have to sacrifice more of what I am, for what I will become.
I would like to get better at baseball because that's what i like to do is play baseball. The thing about baseball is that it's a fun sport to play. I played since i was 6. To get better i must get better at throwing, bating, Etc,... Also i have to amplify my skills.
I enjoyed both sports much but my passion was always in the sport of baseball as I saw my older brother play and graduate from STU. I started playing when I was 4 years old and have been playing ever since. I am currently part of the baseball organization at St. Thomas and I am eager for the upcoming season as a Bobcat. I recently just turned 20, and finished
One time in a baseball game my team was losing by two. There was two outs and I was up to bat and there were 2 people on base. I got a strike on the first pitch. On the second pitch I swung as hard as I could and hit it all the way to the fence.
Sports is everything to me, it gets me through life, teaches me lessons, and makes me who I am. My first sport that I ever played was baseball. Whenever me and my family went to the park it was to do drills and play baseball. Being the youngest and believe it or not the shortest it seemed that's all we did.
Think Big Leagues When I play baseball with my friends I have lots of fun, but imagine what it would be like to play on a professional team. My parents dream for me is to be successful and happy, but I have had an interest in baseball since I was four years old. I remember waking up ready to go play a tournament in the fresh summer air. When I watch the games on T.V, Mike Trout always stood out to me.
Sadly, my enjoyment of baseball was short-lived. As I transitioned into middle school, the sport became more competitive than enjoyable. Rather than hearing cheers and
My coach always said, “There is somebody working just as hard as you, what sets you apart from them.” That created a fire inside of me because when it’s late at night and it’s been a long day, I go back to what he said and it drives me to get better. I feel this way when I train for baseball, when I do schoolwork, and when I do anything in life. It has also given me a dose of humility because I have come to understand that I may not be the most skilled player on the field at times but nobody will outwork me. It has created a drive to succeed in everything I do and a competitiveness that has set me apart from others.
At the age of 5, I aspired to either become a professional athlete or an ESPN anchor. Ever since I could remember, I would kick a soccer ball around, dribble a basketball, or throw a baseball around with friends and family. I used to be the league champion and MVP of the team every season, but as time progressed, other competitors would rocket past in height and become the best players because of their size advantage. Although other young athletes became stronger and taller than me, it did not change the passion and commitment I had for sports.
People think sports are just sports, but in reality to athletes it’s an escape from life, it’s our second family, and most important we feel like we belong there. Sports make you feel like your apart of something bigger than a team. Softball has been my second family and I have made so many amazing friendships that might last for the rest of life and even if they don’t, I will never forget all my friends or the memories that I have playing ball with
My Experiences in Softball Crack! That was the sound echoing off my bat. Down the baseline I went running, turning first base looking to see where the ball was. Sliding into second base, I was safe. I stood up and heard the roar of the crowd.
It was my first true love and has always been my go to when I’m feeling down or just need to get my mind off of everything else. When I’m on the field the only thing I focus on is the ball that is coming at me and nothing else. What’s really cool about baseball is that anyone can play it, size doesn’t matter. The smallest player to ever make an appearance in the MLB was 3 feet 7 inches tall, and that is short. Loek Van Mil, the tallest person in professional baseball, is 7 feet 1 inch tall.
Sports are my passion. Ever since I was little I was fascinated with the big leagues and how sports worked. I have looked up to so many people that are in the big leagues, and I have learned from them. The sport that I have stuck with since I was 4 is softball, softball is made up of 11 people that you will soon to call your sisters. The game is made up of hard work, dedication, and understanding.
