By the way...softball is awesome! My daughter plays for Ohio University. I will be in Arizona in February because we play Arizona University! I have been hit a thousand times pitching to my kid. We had to go to "softies" or rubber balls with holes in them. I had a girl on my travel team that hit a true softball up the middle which one bounced off my shin in warm-ups. All the parents were watching so I played it off. I really wanted to cry...lol...it hurt so bad. Never again! I still have a lump on my leg.
That's awesome she made it to college! Only a select few make it to the next level. Great on you for putting in that time and "trusting the process"!
I wish we had ours at an earlier age, I'm 54, she's 11! I get congratulated too much on how cute my "granddaughter" is. I just play along. Now she calls me "old man". We certainly have a special bond that I know you have with yours. It's what we live for!!
I've been hit in the shin as well but thank the Lort it was in 8U. It hurt like Hail but can't cry in front of little girls! LMAO!! I have a pitching net we use now days. GL to your daughter vs. U of A and tell her to Hammer 'em!!
