At 11, you don’t have to have the whole dream figured out. Amari’s goal was to earn a scholarship and play college softball. She did that, and then her path kept going. Sometimes the opportunities waiting for her are bigger than what she can see right now. Give her the tools,
When asked: “why do you play?”— as girls in sport, sometimes we think we have to answer: “To have fun” “To have a great experience” “To compete” “I love softball” It’s actually ok to be intense and to WANT IT and to be the one who holds that for your team. A team takes all

I’m unsure about the “under the sea” move I did at the beginning of this video but I am 100% certain that focusing on being a good teammate in more ways than one puts elite athletes in a whole different conversation. These are the athletes that get it. These are the ones that
Why Does Youth Softball Feel Like You Only Know You’re On The Right Path Once She’s Already Committed? Once she starts travel ball, the path can feel like panic— her friend started travel so you had to start travel too; All weekends are now softball and off season means the
Does this sound like someone you know? If she has a big dream…one she’s been working hard for and your family has invested time, money, and energy into: The Roadmap Weekend is for her ❤️ Comment MOVE to get the details.
