I used to post here some. Many of you know of my daughter and her swing. Thought you baseball guys might enjoy this....
After college she coached a travel team for three years. They were 14u this year. She also has helped me with lessons since about her sophomore year in high school. She stepped down from coaching just now after this last tournament. One because it was costing her too much money, only being out of college three years and being a nurse, the other is the time commitment.
She posted this on facebook. Good read for anybody who loves this sport baseball or softball....

Dear Softball,
🔹 I want to say thank you. Thank you for allowing me to be yours for over 20 years. Thank you for shaping me, teaching me, and molding me, into a fearless leader with your guidance and direction. Some will say it’s “just softball.” It’s never JUST been anything, it’s been everything. It’s been a journey of devastation, triumph, heart, and defeat. You have shown me, that we can never truly rise in success without first failing, again and again.
🔹 Thank you for helping me realize my true potential is something far greater than me. Thank you for allowing my Faith to blossom friendships, and love. Love that far exceeds what my 5 yr old self could ever even begin to imagine. Love so deeply rooted into a sport, that has offered me so much more than I’ll ever be able to give it. A love that I want to continue to share, into the lives of others, and a love that knows no end. I am reminded by you, that we are all perfectly imperfect, and that in our imperfections we have growth. We have the capacity to continue to trek forward, when all hope has seemed lost.
🔹 Thank you for the early mornings, and the late nights. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for friends I have kept so near to my heart. And lastly, thank you for my understanding that it’s never JUST softball. I hope someday, people will realize what an impact you have made. My life will be forever changed by you, and all your perfectly timed life lessons. I can only hope, I can be half as wise as you.
Love Always: Casey Lynn
