Softball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. As a little kid my dad would teach me how to hit in the backyard with a Wiffleball bat that was taller than me. As the years passed, I started to fall in love with the sport more than I imagined possible. From little league to travel ball and all the way through varsity high school ball, it has always been a huge part of my life. Most people don’t understand the sport or how someone can be so engulfed in every aspect of it. However, they don’t get to experience the life lessons that this sport of extreme highs and lows teaches the player. It teaches you patience. It teaches you that imperfection is normal. It teaches you that things can turn around in the blink of an eye and most importantly, it teaches you that all good things must come to an end.

Paul was going to go to Lake Windsor Middle School but because he had an iep he wasn’t allowed to play soccer. As a result, Paul saw that he could go to Tangerine Middle instead. He went for it because if he went to Tangerine Middle School he would not need an iep anymore and overall he would get to play soccer. He also made new friends and everyone seemed to be really nice. ’’We understand what a strain this will put on everyone’’(93-94).What this means is that there is a big confusion on if you can stay in the school or you have to transfer to Tangerine.All in all, Paul moving schools was a decision that was his choice and he chose to go to

Yogi Berra believed that, “Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical.” From my tenure as a college softball pitcher at Point Park University, I learned how imperative being mentally sound is to the game of softball. The legal field is a very demanding field. I know my experiences gained on the diamond will allow me to flourish in a field dependent upon mental toughness.

Hard work never goes un-noticed, and although I did improve, I had acquired the label of ‘outfielder’. The position that wasn’t home to me, but I was forced to recognize as my spot on the field. My first year of Varsity softball arrived and I made it clear infield is where I wanted to be, but my coach’s confidence in me continued to lack to match the level of mine, along with the fact the returning third basemen was a veteran. And the outfield is where I was sent, yet again.

The Iowa Western Community College Softball program strongly relies on integrity on the field as well as in the classroom. Because junior college student-athletes are required to have an Associate’s Degree to move on to Division-I colleges, it is imperative that they focus on strong academic success. By focusing on academics, our work ethics can be greatly amplified by understanding that academics come first. As a coach for the Reiver softball team, I also believe that by showing compassion for others, common goals can be achieved even through competitive sport. Through my personal integrity, I show that each student-athlete’s competitive objectives are attainable through humbleness and modesty. Through a high degree of athletic ability, the team members will maintain a strong work ethic both mentally and physically to provide successes on the field. In doing so, the empowerment of their successes will help them to strive to be leaders in the community.

Neil has been coaching the Connecticut Charmer’s Showcase Softball team for 26 years. He has watched many including his one and only middle aged daughter clime the latter to success. Everyone in the competitive softball world that is driven to play for a well-known college softball team knows Neil. Not even an entire year goes by when the parents, players, and other coaches realize Neil is not just any ordinary coach. He only goes by one way and that’s his way.

Each girl must be at the top of her mental game to deal with a bad game or a hard one and this doesn't always come naturally. To achieve this type of mental toughness the players train for years and years to achieve it. This raises the cognitive responses in each girl and helps them to act more mature in their everyday lives as well. It is a growth process that never stops for a softball

If you cut the squad down to six that leaves six girls with the option of joining volleyball, a very tight knit group of mean girls that didn’t appreciate newcomers, or have no sport at all. The girls that would’ve been cut from the squad needed an activity that included them, because they never were accepted into any other group and never felt part of the group. My coach goes out of her way to make sure that everyone is accepted and feels like a part of the group, so by cutting us down you’re taking away the thing the girls need most. After hearing that the squad was going to be cut my coach was absolutely heartbroken, but she was ready to fight for us. She started out by having meeting after meeting to make them change their minds, some of them did and some of them didn’t. Those that didn’t were so sick of hearing our coach’s arguments and pleas that they decided to take it to the next level: they threatened her job. After that she couldn’t do anymore without losing her job, which she worked so hard for. We couldn’t ask anymore of her because that wouldn’t be fair, so it was our turn. I decided that we needed to do something because you can’t take away the one good thing that a high school girl had, nor can you take away the bond

Baseball and softball are two demanding sports that require dedication, hard work, and athletic ability. Softball was created to allow women to play a sport similar to baseball, without having to play with men, which decreases the number of injuries of female players. The equipment involved has similarities in design, but some differences were made to fit each sport for their specific needs. The rules for each sport are also very similar with some modifications that were constructed to make both sports unique. The way the two games are played is similar as well, but differences in strategy and how the sports are played also make them different. Many of the differences have been put into place to ensure injuries are reduced and allow for the games to be fairly played.

So when asked to help coach a youth girls’ softball team, I jumped at the opportunity. I was eager to share my passion and knowledge of the game with little girls. I thought about all the things I would teach them and what kind of coach I wanted to be. What I didn’t expect is that I would learn as much from those girls as they would from me.

“Seven” that is the amount of times the Penn State Women’s Volleyball team has won the Division One Championship. They are currently tied with Stanford Volleyball for the most National Championship titles as of this year. Penn State has strived hard in order to claim their title of the most wins, but there are three things that have helped them along the way: looking at how far they’ve come, the team’s coaching, and previous alumni that have pushed current players to keep a positive reputation.

This is an issue because it affects how Bobby’s teachers view him. Maggie went into the school year with a worried about Bobby, because of the preconceived opinions and stories she had heard from staff. Maggie talks about all the issues that Bobby has says, “I have heard all of it in the staff room over the years” (84). This is an issue because, if a teacher has a presumed attitude towards a student this can alter the way that they teach them. Since there was a negative connotation that came with Bobby Millers reputation for the past five years, teachers and administrators expected poor behavior and academic performance from him. For example, Maggie says that the “verdict is already in on Bobby Miller” (85). This statement is implying that the school already had an opinion formed on Bobby. Maggie suggests that it would be very surprising if she was able to find something positive about Bobby (85). I chose this an issue because I believe the attitudes that teachers formulate about their students can be related to the student’s performance in the

The popularity of Volleyball has increased dramatically over past years. This is a result of commodification. Commodification is the process of turning something into a commodity that can be bought and sold. Over the past 20 years, Volleyball has evolved from a simple, fun and recreational sport to a more appealing, more sexualized version, beach volleyball. As a result of this evolution, beach volleyball has received a vast improvement in popularity, especially amongst a male audience. The intent of this essay is to examine the sport of beach volleyball and explain why the individuals, and the sport itself, have evolved throughout the years. Volleyball’s transformation into beach volleyball is a positive step forward for the sport in
