Responding To Failure In Softball

In softball having a growth mindset is crucial. Mindset is simply a person’s attitude towards something. You can either have a growth mindset or a fixed mindset. Growth mindset means that you are in control of your own ability, and can learn and improve (The Importance of Mindset). Fixed mindset means you believe you will never be able to accomplish that certain task. Teams that play timidly, lack confidence, and give forth no effort, will never reach their full potential. Softball teams that struggle with fixed mindsets will ultimately fail, but could thrive with a growth mindset.

I started playing softball when I was in eighth grade in an outside league team in Arvin made, I always found baseball interesting and wanted to play, but my parents would not let me because it was a boys sport, and I would cry a river every time they said no because I really wanted to play .When I heard there were going to have softball conditioning and tryouts and a new team named Arvin which was, where I lived. I was so happy and wanted to join right away I told my parents and they agreed to let me try out it was like a dream come and the best day of my life and I told my parents I was going to try so hard to make the team. Softball means everything to me I love everything about it, it’s my stress reliever and my anger management. When I feel

Being involved in sports teaches vital life lessons that will promote you to overcome challenges you endure in everyday life. The passion and leadership required in the sport of softball reflect the qualities to be successful in my education. My life-long experiences in softball have helped me develop into the person I am today in pursuing my academic career. Through my background of being highly committed to the game, taking on leadership roles and balancing academics with athletics it has prepared me for college.

All my life, I have seen the game of softball as an opportunity to improve my life. Whether it be on or off the field, softball has taught me life skills certain people can only imagine learning. As a sassy 6 year old playing Tee-ball, I can remember giving attitude to other teams since we were losing. My coaches scolded us for unpleasant attitudes regarding losing. It bothered me that others were winning. On the other hand, it taught me to work tirelessly towards a winning goal and to be untroubled of other’s successes.

After playing softball for eleven years, I injured my back during my junior year high school season. It was my first season officially on the varsity team, therefore my devastated me. Although I was greatly saddened by this, I still stuck with the team. I went to every practice, game, tournament, and team dinner. I kept score at every game and helped my coaches with anything they needed. My perseverance helped me adjust to the situation I was put in and let me overcome my injury. This skill has definitely assisted me in many things in addition to missing out on my junior year softball season.

Softball. My favorite sport. It’s not a contact sport so, the chances of me injuring another player are slim to none. Or so i thought….. I was in Traverse City last year with my team for a softball tournament. It was the fifth inning of our morning game, we were down by a few runs and I was on deck. “There is one out,” I thought to myself “I have to get on base.”

Smack! That 's the sound the fastball makes when it hits the catcher 's glove. People all around the world enjoy this softball. Let 's head to the dugout and play ball.

When I was younger, I always wanted to be someone famous like a singer, an actress, or even an astronaut. But one day I came across a sport, but this was not just any boring sport to me, it was a sport that I knew I wanted to do for a career or even until I grew old. It might just be a ball and bat to some people but to me it felt more than a sport. It felt like an endless vacation from everything going bad in my life. That sport is softball. But I knew something that felt so wonderful has to have some challenges.

I like to spend my time outdoors, playing softball; it’s very important to be outside because you can enjoy the nature’s God has given us. Being outside is very soothing; it helps to focus on the important things in life. Nature is like a second home to humans. We can survive on our own in nature because we can live on the resources that are provided by nature.

For the last eight years, softball has shaped my life and taught me many things about leadership, sportsmanship, and how to work as a team. Softball has always made me happy, it’s not just the sport that makes me happy, but it’s the place that I get to go and the people that I get to play it with. Every time I’m on the field or in the cages I feel the most content. The softball field and cages are my sanctuary.

In my my paper I will tell you why you, or other people should play softball. Softball is fun to play, in my opinion, and I think that if you tried it you could have fun or become a fantastic softball player. If you just tried softball and decide to keep at it you could become one of the greatest softball players that ever lived, so that is why I think that you should just try it.

A field shaped like a diamond followed by a meadow of grass. Sixty foot base paths that surrounds the infield in a counterclockwise direction. A batting count of three balls and two strikes. Three outs total in all seven innings of pure determined, back and forth softball between two teams. This place has been my home for years. I play softball because of the love I have for the game, and because of the feeling that takes my breath away every time I step onto the field. The softball field at Glendale Community College is now my new home for the next two years.

“Baseball is soo easy. People play it because other sports are too hard for them.” one kid said.

Something that has influenced me from past experiences is playing with Twisted. Twisted is a softball team from Greenbrier that is really good. When I played with them they all helped each other out and always picked each other up when someone was down. When I played with them, they were always up on their feet and they never sat down. It was like they all wanted it and in my softball team that is not what happens.

All you need to have to enjoy this place is your friends, family, blackout, Gatorade, a softball, a team, bat, glove, helmet, love, fun, caring, excitement, and batting gloves. You don't just need that to make sure this game happens without support of other this game would never be. I love the way my team makes everyone comfortable on the field, that's why I love softball because everyone is there for you. A softball field does not just have all those great qualities there is laughter and happiness that also have to be in that mix. If we had none of this there would be no joy to softball. More reasons I draw strength from the softball field is because we have to learn how to get along. We also have to learn to hustle without hassle we will be lackadaisical and we out of it, so we learn hustle and give it your all. We also learn to think best about something and not look on the bad side. If everything you do you look on the bad side you will get nowhere, so my querencia taught we a lot and I am proud to say my querencia. As we get older we fight less, we
