WARRIORMIKE
Pro-Staff Everything
Let me start off by saying a special thanks to an individual that helped with WarriorAngela this weekend. Mike-Coach Q. Prior to this event, he spoke to Angela as a mental coach, and walked her through the process of being a pitcher and how to be better....mentally. What you said to her Mike was extremely helpful to make her better on the circle/mound this weekend. I saw a lot better pitching from her this weekend. Plus how to deal with the stress and pressure in front of college scouts. It was really cool to see her smile and be more positive out there. MY friend a big thank you again......
So this weekend was super exciting. WarriorAngela took part in her first college show case on a 16U team. We were in Chino Hills, Big League Dreams for three days. I'm irritated that I had to pay $5 per adult to get in. So $30 bucks just to get in for me and WarriorMama just to walk in the gates of pearl to see dd play. Stupid when they gouge you on food and cant bring in your own coolers. Anyways....... Angela started Friday night. Not gonna lie I was a nervous wreck seeing my dd pitch in "Big Tyne" league. She has been having some struggles with pitching so we got her pitching coach involved for three day lessons to get her fined tuned and Mike-Coach Q to seal the deal. Well hard work paid off. Pitching was beautiful . Only one walk for 4 innings. No strikeouts, but it was quick outs. Not taking away credit from the opposing team because they were good too. Our second pitcher came in the last half of the game. We lost but I was reminded that it was a showcase not a tournament . There are no winners or loosers (yea right ) BUUUUTT wait there's more. Angela hit a standup double with her new 2017 Xeno. Went to the fence. We thought it was gonna go over. So her Xeno is her new "baby" now.
Saturday was good too. Another standup double with a strikeout when she was pitching in the mix. She only pitched the first half of the first game of the day. I think we lost that one. However we were winning when she got pulled so I had to break it down to her that she wasn't charged with the loss. Second game wasn't to good to her. We had bases loaded and two outs. All we needed was a single and we were back in the game . Yea she struck out. LOL It happens.... Right? Game ended in a tie
Sunday was another fun-day. Faced a good team. Angela got rocked on. LOL . Seems that there were better hitters on this team. She ended up striking out a batter and she struck out. We lost that game, again just enjoying the day. Last game was tie, she didn't pitch at all, but on the stick went 1-2 with a hard grounder to 3rd. Had not the SS been there, one of her hits would have been a single on a error. Although one of the hits was a hard grounder back to pitcher, for a single and a RBI. She loves her new Xeno!!
Last but not least I happened to meet up with a fellow DFP member, "Striker" Nice family and his dd had a great hit to deep center/Left. I believe it was a triple if not mistaken. She seems like shes better now!! LOL . Mark it was really cool meeting up with you and your family. Your wife referred to me twice yesterday as "Jake from State Farm" Hey man we really got to stop those late nite texts!! LMAO
All in all the experience was great. At one point we had Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Clarion to mention a few other college coaches sitting in our stands watching our games this weekend. Great experience for sure!
