Julia, SoCal softball coach here from a nationally recognized org which the name does not matter in the grand scheme of things. We put players….. people…. Like you through so much on a weekly basis, it’s not even fun nor funny. The amount of time I’ve spent yelling, bickering, supposedly teaching is absurd. It took me a long time to realize your situation you went through in college begins at a very young age around my area and certain other SB Meccas in this country. The amount of pain I’ve caused, the stress, crying, suffering, mental health issues and much more are really not worth it in the long run. Parents could fund college educations if they saved all the personalized training, dues, gas, hotels and food money. What you touched on in this video is empowering and quite honestly makes me feel like crap because I can relate to the college coaches that unfortunately run players like you into the ground without caring for what you/they feel. My daughter, base running specialist and prior D1 commit, felt pain every day. Legs have permanent scars, kneecaps of a 60 year old, dark elbows and crooked fingers; she doesn’t own a short dress or skirt because she’s permanently damaged. She’s embarrassed to take group photos because she’s “ugly” and “beat up.” Crazy part is, she’s not the only one that feels that way. I never gave her a chance to voice her opinion and never cared what she felt because I was used to creating recruitable fundamental coachable robots. Scary thing is my daughter is only a drop in the pool, so many others are in the same boat and not many can do what you’ve done. Find yourself and be happy. If anyone reading this is a player, parent or coach. Learn from this, it’s very real and find a way to be balanced. I’ll get off my soapbox now because I’ll be typing all night. Great video(s), it’s been a pleasure watching you grow over the years. Keep up the great work!
I am glad you have found your happy place for the moment. I first came across one of your RUclips volgs 5 years ago. I realized you were at the same tournament that I had attended although I did not have the same scary experience I could relate. I was fortunate to have met you in person when you were playing for Academy of Arts and traveled to Hawaii to play. However I was disappointed that you were injured and could not see you pitch. I am however glad that you have found a happy medium to play, attend school and have a positive outlook. Though you may have a shortened career in playing softball I hope you are able to stay in the game. I have umpired many levels of girls softball and encourage you to remain and maybe join the ranks of the umpires. I may not be able to play in HOF stadium in OKC but this summer I get to umpire there. You have a long life ahead and just keep up the smile that drew you to so many.
