She has been pitching for 3 years as a starter and playing softball since 7, volleyball since 11 and basketball since 10. I am telling you determination will make you over come any obstacle in life. Show her the two pictures above.
My daughter is now 15 just made varsity at a new school and in a heated battle between a junior and senior to for being the starting pitcher. She has been told she could never pitch with the brace and scouts would ignore her.....well most remember the brace and it actually is a conversation starter with most coaches. It is her trade mark so to say.
