I’ve never met her. I’ve only seen her play one time. Yet, I am inspire by her, because she tries and tries again and never gives up. Lauren Connell succeeds both on the softball field and in the classroom.in high school she was the
Teams that play timidly, lack confidence, and give forth no effort, will never reach their full potential. Softball teams that struggle with fixed mindsets will ultimately fail, but could thrive with a growth mindset. Softball teams that sit back and play timidly in the field will never be successful. One example is, if a third-baseman was to sit back and wait for the ball to
I found softball and want to play it for as long as I can. "I don’t want to be just a face. I want to go out there and prove something on the field." ~Jennie
At the end of my presentation, the audience will be able to explain the reasoning why the Little League World Series makes kids strive to succeed in the sport of baseball. So, I wrote this speech a little while ago so bear with me, four score and seven years……. oh I apologize that’s the wrong speech. So for starters….(start into Relevancy Statement). My topic is relevant to you because if you have kids or want to have kids you should get them involved in sports, my presentation specifically supports why they should play baseball or softball.
My softball teams include the Conemaugh Valley High School and the Keystone Stinger teams. On my high school team, I am the starting pitcher and we were very successful this year. We had an undefeated regular season, won our conference
At first you might not think you’re good but you can get better. That was my reasoning on why you should play softball. Along with some facts about the sport. A lot of girls play the sport and I hope that you will too.
Softball players must have pristine timing and have a consciousness of the varying types of pitches. Much like other sports, baseball and softball have traits that balance one another's obstacles. Ultimately, the call to which is more difficult can go both
All you need to have to enjoy this place is your friends, family, blackout, Gatorade, a softball, a team, bat, glove, helmet, love, fun, caring, excitement, and batting gloves. You don't just need that to make sure this game happens without support of other this game would never be. I love the way my team makes everyone comfortable on the field, that's why I love softball because everyone is there for you. A softball field does not just have all those great qualities there is laughter and happiness that also have to be in that mix. If we had none of this there would be no joy to softball.
My teammates and coaches have made a huge impact on me as well. They taught me that if we truly wanted something we can only achieve it by working together. Teamwork is key in a group sport. If you all aren't working together it will be nearly impossible to get the job done.
For most of my childhood, the sport of baseball was the one activity I loved above anything else. Nothing could compare to the exhilarating freedom and satisfaction of bolting full speed around the bases, determined to steal 2nd, beating the "Throwdown" by a fraction of a second. The massive dust cloud kicked up by my cleats and the thunderous boom of the umpire shouting, "Safe!" made me feel empowered. It was in moments like those, when I was in control of my own fate, choosing whether to stay or to run, whether to play it safe or to risk failure, that I learned one of the most important lessons of my life.
This has given me a sense of maturity that I can approach things in life thinking that everything is a learning experience and no matter how large the failure, the success can always be bigger. My coaches have also taught me how to respect the game because it has created a respect that I can take into the real world. The respect that I show to umpires and to players on the other team has shown me that the players who represent the game make up what the game stands
For the last eight years, softball has shaped my life and taught me many things about leadership, sportsmanship, and how to work as a team. Softball has always made me happy, it’s not just the sport that makes me happy, but it’s the place that I get to go and the people that I get to play it with. Every time I’m on the field or in the cages I feel the most content. The softball field and cages are my sanctuary.
The lamp posts cast themselves like trees on the narrow path. The enormous white arch introduces itself first and then allows the plentiful of the structures behind it to shine under the restless night. Thinking back to twelve years ago and how these same buildings gave a sense of confusion and utter seclusion for the world. I had to learn the rules and then I had to perform my best, it was like a ritual only every time I performed I got better at it.
Over the years I’ve gotten stronger, faster, and overall better at softball. Four years into it and I have some great and some painful stories. I’ve learned many things about softball, but one that has stuck out to me and that also applies to life is that it can be fun.
I would look around at all these faces and appreciate every single one of them, pondering about what we had achieved together for ourselves and for the future of the school. This team altered me from a quiet more reserved kid, to the girl shouting at the top of her lungs at practice and laughing until she would fall to the ground. Through the ability to play this sport I also found something that I was wholeheartedly dedicated to. I often didn’t find myself putting in my all, but this sport gave me this sense of reality and being more grounded with myself, demonstrating to me how important
