She's starting Friday night's game!

[maksoftball]

Sorry, I know I am monopolizing this with her progress. But I get home from work, and my dh says "She's starting Friday". I was like "wha? Did coach say she was?" He said "Coach told her to watch the videos to prepare". So I ask her what coach said...said she was really impressed with her progress and how her spin/movement was really good. Anyway...if coach follows through, she is starting an important district game Friday night. We lost to them 5-4...we are at the halfway mark. Just trying to keep my trap shut and stay out of it. I am already VERY stressed about other things (work) so it's making me irrational.

Funny thing is she is SOOOO nonchalant about it...very opposite of me! LOL! We are definitely opposites.

Wish her luck!! Will try to post videos...haha!

This is so true. DD #3 used to have a lot of trouble pitching in tournaments, while in practice or rec league she did fine. Her coaches told her to make sure to breathe while pitching. It improved her pitching enormously.

Good luck to your DD!

Remember, sit right behind the backstop so that you can have a good view of the strike zone and help out your DD if blue is not giving her the corners.

Just kidding! Good luck and enjoy the game well away from the other parents!

I'm with you.

I get anxious every tournament Friday and stay that way all weekend. DD is first year 12u and I have been this way with every tournament since 8u all stars.

The only time I don't have nerves is the 5 home tournaments per year. I'm the tournament director, so I have other things on my mind leading up to and during those tourneys.

I also have to pace every AB. Can't sit down. When she is on the mound, I'm cool. Not so much when she's at the plate.
