Softball has always been my passion ever since I was six years old. There has always been lots of struggles such as pitching bad, in a slump for hitting, not having the greatest team, and having your competitor be the coaches daughter. Playing with your coaches daughter as you competitor is awful because they look at the stats and no matter what they say they believe their daughter is the best. Playing for the Red hots Bart was the coach and of course his daughter pitched and played first just like I did. My stats had always been better than hers so i was such a threat to his daughter so he favored her a lot and all the parents saw it too. The last tournament of the season you would think the best pitcher would pitch right? Keep in mind

Personal Narrative: The Softball Field

As the softball fields begin to glow and the mountains dance with fire teams’ fight to win it all. It’s on fields like those that started me on my journey to learning something I thought I already knew. I was playing with my softball team in St. George and we were projected to win the whole tournament. We had found our rhythm and were playing especially well in my last game. We were up by quite a bit when I came up to bat. The pitcher wound up and threw an outside strike to me. I hit it and made…

Personal Narrative: The Sport Of Softball

Ever since I was six years old, I fell in love with a diamond. In the diamond was one heartbeat made up of nine different girls who all had the same passion, which was the game of softball.

Personal Narrative: Softball Tryout

“Oh goodness, we are here,” I thought, “this whole bumpy car ride I was fine but now it felt like dozens of butterflies were flying in my stomach.” I kept thinking about the softball tryout and everything that I need to do to make this tryout better. I also thought about all the hard work I had put in for this tryout after last season. I was so nervous that I wouldn't do anything right, even though in practice I was perfectly fine and new exactly what to do. I hopped out of my car with a nervous…

Personal Narrative: Softball As A Subculture

from those of the majority, held by a group within a wider society. Some of the subcultures I belong to are softball, art, and being bilingual.

The difference is that it is played in a smaller field with a larger ball. I first started playing softball at 11 years old. I felt that it was one of the first groups I belonged to. A theory about art is that art was…
