Shs sports...mostly softball and a lil volleyball!

Softball is one of my favorite sports. As a freshman, I made the J.V. team at Stevenson. My coaches are Blough and Johnston. They’re okay guys, but they easily get frustrated. I love all the girls on my team. I knew none of them but grew so close to each one of them in such a short amount of time. I was sick during the tryouts and got asked to tryouts for varsity. I was so excited and wanted to get better as soon as possible. So finally, I got better and went to the varsity practices as my tryout and I was so nervous. My last tryouts were going to a 5 hour scrimmage on an early Saturday morning. It was an amazingly tiring day. In the end, I made JV but was happy because I get playing time and they are girls that are my ago so I felt more comfortable. Our record is 10 and 6. It’s not bad. I’d have to say that the star player is Julianne Potvin. I love that girl so much. She’s an amazing short stop and an unbelievable hitter. Anyway, our season has been going well but as the season goes on I honestly get worse. I have no clue why but it frustrates the crap out of me. Everyone tells me that I think way too much and I know they’re right and do I try not to but that never works. They also tell me that I never let things go. Like things I do wrong, I can never seem to let them go. That is pretty bad as an athlete because I make a lot of mistakes and it messes up my game. I also play volleyball so I need to work on that throughout the season so I can fix that problem for volleyball and softball. I would make any team in high school but it’s really easy and not as bad as I thought at all. I lo0ve softball and volleyball and I can’t wait to see what comes in the future for my volleyball and softball career.
