There are so many young ladies out there playing softball that are taking the field this weekend (or the following week )for the 1st time- to start your NEW SEASON- Whether it be as a new teammate for a NEW team at a new level, returning to the SAME division BUT NOW as a LEADER others feed off of -OR-under new coaches (perhaps different from their last coach) but just as THRILLED to have her playing for them. The moment is special, nonetheless. MOMs and DADs~~ help them to EMBRACE IT! We have so many mentors in our lives that help shape us through sports. Our capacity for learning expands only when we acknowledge that we can relate and respond to a variety of teaching methods. Be it coaches, parent volunteers (that are suppose to be helping and not screaming from the stands), teammates and older siblings alike; Diversity is the key to progression and it comes in many forms. Ask any coach that you admire and he or she will tell you that the secret to their success is being surrounded by a plethora of phenomenal yet diverse coaches in their own walk of life and taking fragments here and portions there until they themselves formulated their very own mixture for the pieces that become the puzzle they wish to assemble as a coach. In the midst of all of that are a bunch of girls getting smarter about LIFE through a game rather than missing out on life bc of a game. Smiles galore and for the rest of your life I hope when things get crazy, wild, out of total control that something takes you back and you are able to wail the words to one..."AFRO CIRCUS!!!!" (and it gets all better!) Now- "WAR OUT!" -COACH, Mentor, Male Hugger, LOW-FIVER, DJ, Diaper Changer and O+ blood donator~~Shane!
