Pure determination

This is a picture of my baby playing in a softball tournament last fall. She's the young lady on the left.

She looks like she's about to fire-off that ball to home plate. Does she play first base or right field?

In that pic she was on 2nd base making the play at 1st. She's a utility player and she plays all but pitcher and 1st base.

Nice pic Tim. Looks like she has that special fire. Did she get the runner out?

Cool !
Encourage her and tell her to practice everyday with weight training, etc...

my daughter did that and earned a scholarship which enabled her to continue on and get her masters !!!

A suggestion - video ALL her games and at bats and edit a video to send to recruiters if she's interested ....

There are so many very talented and highly capable softball players out there that she may never get seen. But, it won't be from a lack of trying.
