Fresh cut grass,
dragged dirt, ring
of a bat, a diving
catch, a blocked
ball, sweating,
bleeding and sliding
into home. Not a bad
way to spend a few
hours
Losers quit when
there tired, but
winners are tired
when they quit!
If it doesn't matter
if you win or lose,
then why do you keep
score?
When things go
wrong, as they
sometimes will. When
the bases you're
trudging seems all
uphill. When the
hits are low and the
errors are high. And
you want to smile,
but you have to
sigh. When the heat
is pressing you down
a bit. Rest if you
must, but you don't
quit. Success is
failure turned
inside out, the
silver tint of the
clouds of doubt. And
you can never tell
how close you are.
It may be near when
it seems afar. So
stick to the game
when it is hardest
hit. It's when
things go wrong that
you must not quit.
Don't measure
yourself by what you
have accomplished,
but by what you
should have
accomplished with
your ability.
This is what
Softball is all
about
More than a sport,
more like a passion,
red dirt and bruises
are in fashion, the
wind up, the pitch,
scrambling defense,
this is what
softball is all
about, intense
parents in the
stands, anxious
coaches waving their
hands, the swing of
the bat, making
contact, this is
what softball is all
about, the bat, the
ball, the bases, the
glove, this is
softball, the game
that I love.
If you're not making
mistakes, then
you're not doing
anything. I'm
positive that a doer
makes mistakes.
You can't let praise
or criticism get to
you. It's a weakness
to get caught up in
either one
Don't let what you
cannot do interfere
with what you can
do.
Success comes from
knowing that you did
your best to become
the best that you
are capable of
becoming.”
Sometimes the only
way to tell it's
practice, is by what
you're wearing.
Champions bounce
back from adversity
and rise to the
occasion, when their
backs are against
the wall.
WARNING: The surgeon
general says it's OK
to smoke the
competition
Play for the name on
the front of your
uniform, not the
name on the back.
