Got this from another post, and I couldnt have said it any better!! Not only this, but you can see how selfless some of these girls are… not just playing for themselves, playing for eachother and for the TEAM. That’s what softball is all about 🥎
“To all the young softball players watching the Women’s College World Series…
Pay attention.
Not just to the home runs, the diving plays, and the walk-off wins. Watch the errors. Watch the strikeouts. Watch the pitches that miss their spot. Watch the moments when even the best players in the country don’t get it right.
These athletes play at the highest level of college softball, and they still make mistakes.
The difference? They don’t let one mistake define them.
They keep competing. They keep believing. They keep showing up for their teammates.
Give yourself the same grace.
A bad inning doesn’t define you.
An error doesn’t define you.
A strikeout doesn’t define you.
Softball is a game of failure, resilience, and learning how to respond when things don’t go your way.
The girls playing on that field weren’t built by perfect performances. They were built by overcoming adversity, learning from mistakes, and refusing to quit.
Keep working. Keep learning. Keep believing.
Your next play is always more important than your last one. 🥎
