Playing Better While Getting Creamed
Today we played a Senior Softball game against the same team we played a week ago. Last week we had a close game and a chance to win, but it wasn’t any fun at all. Tonight, we got creamed, but the kids had more fun and made more plays than when we were in a close battle. More action, more fun, more learning.
Our seniors team is very young. We are 13 year olds playing against 14/15/16 year old teams so we don’t really expect to win a whole lot, but we do expect to compete. The objectives at the beginning of the season were for each of the players to improve, I believe that has already happened in two games. We can only go up from here.
This particular group of girls is my favorite that I have ever coached. Hopefully we can keep them together for a long time, then in years from now, we will be the undefeated ones. They have come a long way in a short time and I am proud of each of them.
Have you ever had a group of kids you just loved to be around? What made them special to you?
