I LOVE THIS!!!!! UGH!!! it reminds me of my dreams.. my ambitions in life... sounds pretty cheesy.. but ... this is how i feel... <333 i fell in love with the game, my pitching, so no matter how much i bitch and complain about the hours of practice,.... i love it with all my heart... its the ONE THING that i can depend on when i feel depressed. its the thing i have been counting on since i was a little girl..... the little girl who fell in love with the game..
Do you remember why you play, or has it been too long? Is it because you've worked so hard to get where you are, or because you love to be part of a team? Is it because you love the roar of the crowd or the anxiety before the game? Is it because you don't want to let anyone down, or yourself? Is it because you love the sound of a perfect hit, or because you would rather be on the field than anywhere in the world?Somewhere behind the athlete you've become,and the hours of practice,and the coaches who pushed you,and the teammates who believe in you,and the fans who cheer for you,is the little girl who threw the ball - the one who fell in love with the game,and never looked back-play for her... not anyone else.... play for youself.
