Tell this to my 4.0 undergrad GPA, my 3 World Series appearances, my 2016 World Championship, & soon to be Masters degree in Exercise Science. Much love sir. We are citizens too.
The point is that athletes, like actors, are some of the dumbest people on the planet & have little to contribute to any debate over ideas

Real question and Iโm just checking myself: Does it bother any other softball player when you see a MLB players new contract worth $200 Million PLUS? Not taking anything away from the guys but Iโm convinced Iโd be a millionaire if I was a male.

Yโall, hitting is 95% mental. Hitting coaches obviously have their place, but more often than not, your problems arenโt mechanically related. Itโs the space between your ears.

This season is the first time I have really been following D2, D3, NAIA, and Juco softball and I just want to reiterate there are BALLERS at every level of our game. From the pros all the way down. Our sport is incredible and I love watching it grow ๐ค๐ผ.

Our sport belongs in the Olympics. Our sport belongs in the Olympics. Our sport belongs in the Olympics.
The @LA28 Olympics have room to add only one or two more sports. Vying for inclusion: cheerleading, cricket, flag football and lacrosse. Still on the outside looking in: baseball and softball. @louiseradnofsky explains:.

I would honestly take his PER GAME salary as my YEARLY salary for playing softball. but whatever.
Bryce Harper signed a 13 year, $330 million dollar contract with the Phillies. Meaning, he gets paid close to $156,695 each game of the season. Learn how to hit baseballs kids.

Very rarely is it the coachโs fault you arenโt playing and/or not playing well. Own your own outcomes. itโs YOUR game. No excuses.

We just swept you in softball.
I will not be holding a War Blogle Bracket Challenge this season. Could I? Yes. Will I? No. This season doesnโt count. Nobody cares. Bad teams appear to be good for various reasons outside of most teamsโ control. Itโs fake. Switch to baseball/softball completely.

You HAVE to bet on yourself. You canโt expect others to believe in you if YOU donโt believe in you. The harder you work the easier it is to get that belief.

I truly wonder how many people are playing because they love the game or just because they are chasing a logo. Your self worth and identity is not tied into the team/college you play for. Donโt rush YOUR process. Donโt compare. Just be a good human being.

Good pitching always beats good hitting, but good pitchers still make mistakes. Itโs the job of the hitter to hit the mistake and be willing to grind out the at bat until you get it. If you donโt a great pitch to hit, tip your cap and move on to the next AB.
