MOST MEMORABLE SOFTBALL MOMENT?

MY STORY
When I was younger a lot of coaches told me to quit or that I would never catch up. Even my travel ball coach could tell you that when I was in 12u I was not athletic at all, but I kept pushing for the dream I wanted and that was to play in college.

I want to leave a legacy of determination and know that I always gave it everything I had. Also I want to leave a legacy of being the best teammate and person I can be for those around me.
