There are a lot of really smart people involved in the great game of fastpitch softball. It has been my pleasure to learn from many of them.

Let her be a kid! She isn’t a professional softball player or a Division I athlete. Let her have fun. let her play with her friends. She is much more likely to remember vacations or fun days with the family that many of the millions of softball games.
