Had the privilege of playing in the USSSA Challenge Cup tournament this past week, which got me thinking about the softball career I’ve been lucky enough to have and continue to have🥎💕 It also made me think of something that a former teammate and collegiate coach said about how she is recruiting softball players: she looks for players that still enjoy playing the game. Players that still have that sparkle in their eyes when they’re on the field. Players that love their teammates unconditionally and fight for them during the highs and lows. Just made me think about how lucky I am to continue to play the game I’ve loved since I was 4 years old🥰 Never forget why you play this wonderfully beautiful game🥎
