Softball Struggles

Life is full of many struggles. One struggle i have experienced is being afraid to play softball, because i didn’t have as much experience as others and I wasn’t as good as others. I first started playing rec softball when i was in sixth grade, which is pretty late. Of course, because i started playing so late, i wasn’t as good as everyone else. I was scared to play at first, and playing with people who were better, than me was very intimidating. As the year progressed, I got better and learned how to play the game. I obviously wasn’t the best player on the team, but I could keep up. In sixth grade, I was a pretty horrible batter, but i knew how to play in the field.
Later,In seventh grade, spring came around again and i started a new season

of softball. Again, i still wasn’t the best, and I was nervous to start a new season with all new people. Surely, as the season went on, I got even better than last year. I still wasn’t the best at batting, but i had definitely improved. i went from striking out pretty much every time i went up to bat, to hardly striking out.
In eighth grade, I again started another season. Of course I was nervous having all new team mates, but this year it wasn’t as bad seeing as pretty much everyone on my team was younger than me. That year, I had immensely improved from sixth grade to seventh grade. I went from being horrible at batting, to being one of the better batters on the team.
Throughout my years few years of playing softball, I have learned that i will not always be the best, and there will always be people with more experience than me. The best thing i can do as a softball player is to just try my best. if i work hard enough to improve my weaknesses, on day i will be just as good as everyone else. Now, closing in on a whole new season, i’m not going to quit just because people are better than me. I am going to try out for a team. Not making the team is better, than giving up and not even trying.
