Softball Community: What are YOU Thankful For This Thanksgiving? Share with Us Your Expressions of Gratitude!

Next Thursday is Thanksgiving (already, for us!) and, after what has been an unprecedented two years due to the COVID pandemic, we’re going to exhale, pause for a few moments and reflect on the blessings we do have at this time.

From family and friends to the thrills and excitement that come from the game we love, we do have a lot to be grateful for!

We’re opening up our site so YOU, the softball enthusiast—be you player, parent or coach—can use this forum to give your feedback.

Some possible ideas to write about:

• Players: what are you grateful for? Coaches who improve your skills? Parents or family members who support you? Teammates who help boost your game? The sport itself?
• Parents & Family: what makes you most thankful? Is it having the blessing of being able to share in something you’re all passionate about? Is it the quality time with your daughter? Or seeing her do something she loves?
• Coaches: you spend so much time and energy with the sport and it’s players… what do you get out of it? What makes you appreciate what you do? What have been some highlights–perhaps funny encounters, rewarding wins or special memories–you’ve had in leading a team?

The article with your feedback will run over the Thanksgiving weekend and will be similar to an article we did a few years ago: 25 Club Players Say They’re Thankful For… ; you can Click HERE to access the article also.
