I watched the Regionals, Super Regionals and Women’s College World Series like everyone else (I mean, really, who WASN’T watching and what were you doing if you weren’t?!?).
I got so excited because I can’t wait for college next year at Missouri—to be out there competing with and against the best of the best. It will be an adjustment for sure but I’m looking forward to the challenge.
Speaking of adjustments, the announcers during the playoffs talked about the adjustments the batters, pitchers, coaches and teams are making during the game.
It’s funny how softball is like a game of life.
We have to adjust to the ups and downs, highs and lows, good times and bad. I mean we will always face some adversity along the line as we grow and in life we have to adjust somehow someway.
That’s what we do in games and after games… we adjust.
