And that is how she became an SEC pitcher. And I say that with the utmost respect, I hope you took it that way.
My DD doesn't even know if she wants to play college ball, she says she does want to pitch through high school.
Does not matter if she does or does not want to play college ball. Encourage her to be the best that she can be at the level where she competes. Then when she is move her up to the next level and challenge.
Charting pitches and the analysis was just a small of her development. Throughout her career she gained knowledge from numerous sources and was really driven to improve. Like I have said, she does not love the game, she loves to compete. She just happens to be pretty good at chuckin a softball. All the way through her softball career from TB to her Senior year at SC she got better and able to play a higher level of ball with every passing season She learned and improved more as a pitcher in college than she did in any of the years prior. A big part of this I attribute to the resources and opportunities afforded her at Chipola and then SC. If you do your part and play 2 years for Mr. and Mrs. at Chipola, you will leave with an advanced degree in the game of fast pitch softball.
