When I was in kindergarten I went to the elementary school my mom worked at. One of her coworkers was a former softball coach of high school when her daughter played. every day after school when she didn't have meetings or things to do we would go out to the grassy area and she would practice with me. Sometimes I didn't want to because I'd get upset or I was tired because I just had a full day of school. Little by little, week by week I got better. I saw an improvement and she saw it. It made me finally find my love for the game and the game that I wanted. It made me happy seeing I was finally getting the concept of it down. Choosing between the negative option or the positive, and I always end up choosing the positive. Never would I have known that if I didn't stop working I wouldn't be where I am now.

Over time even from when I was a little girl I learned that you can't expect for things to magically happen. I still struggle with that today. You want it all, but without putting in the work for it. It's hard to understand but it's the pure truth. It will never happen that way. ]]> 2022-10-18 19:58:45 UTC https://padlet.com/millskyn000/jgwsgh3scylwjgac/wish/2345822835 millskyn000 https://padlet.com/millskyn000/jgwsgh3scylwjgac/wish/2345836991 Example #2
In 6 grade when I had officially decided to switch from REC ball to select I hadn't really been prepared. I always knew select was harder more faster pace better girls, but never really that I wasn't quite on that level. I had then realized I need to work to be able to get to that level. To be able to now be good in select. To do good. If i'm not doing my job then I am not helping my team in any way. My hitting was something I struggled with. Timing. I had a good swing. I had good mechanics, I could hit fast pitching. But I didn't have my timing down to do it all at once. I was in a slump for a long time. Also not always having the best coaches. Sometimes my mental wasn't there either. I ended up tearing myself down. But then had to learn to up in the effort and work to be able to get myself back to the top. Even to this day still. 

How does this relate to my theme?
There were many times I could have given up choosing to be okay with how I played or how good I was at the time. But I wasn't going to go anywhere. I had to realize without putting in the work, effort, and time I will not get further. I will not make a good 14 and 16U national team. I will not make the softball team the way I want. I will not get a scholarship by doing nothing. It will never be sitting in your palms without something in return. ]]> 2022-10-18 20:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/millskyn000/jgwsgh3scylwjgac/wish/2345836991 millskyn000 https://padlet.com/millskyn000/jgwsgh3scylwjgac/wish/2349625777 2022-10-20 19:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/millskyn000/jgwsgh3scylwjgac/wish/2349625777
