It is cold outside, so how about some heart warming stories?
We all love to talk about winning and the kids who went on to become "stars". How about the other kids? What did you do to make "the worst softball player on your team" a little better as a person or as a player? (CANNONBALL: I especially want to hear your story.)
My story:
I had a kid on my coach pitch baseball team with severe physical and mental handicaps. He would miss the ball by 2 feet at the beginning of the season. We (myself, my AC and the child's parents) worked all season long on his hitting and my pitching. We never gave up on the kid, and we worked with him. I still remember the game when he got his first hit. He was the happiest kid in the world.
