The
Professional Women’s softball season is almost half over and after watching the 2019 draftees play it is time for this vintage soul to say to all National Pro
Fastpitch League players “ I am proud to know you “ And, yes I will take my
three strikes at the plate.
You are a role
model for women and young girls for pursuing a career in the field of Women’s Softball.
You lead the way by “doing what you love and love what you are doing.” It is
through your hard work and dedication that got you to the top level of
softball-the NPF. It is also a time to work as a team and show how team effort
and sportsmanship are two character building skills.
This is
where the important second pitch counts. As teammates you work together to
define and resolve any difficulties you face together. You thrive from each
other’s energies. And, you extend that energy and caring to all women. As A two
time cancer survivor I am extremely proud when I see you wear those beautiful
pink jerseys, pink socks and ribbons on “Pink-Out Games” I am proud to see all
the events you sponsor for cancer research. It makes my heart swell when you
run in a Marathon or visit young cancer victims in the hospital. You cover the
backs of all women and girls by example through your exercise and staying healthy.
Pitch
three- out of the park! It is an inspiration to all women by sending the message
that you can be what you want to be. Softball is a way to earn an education
through scholarships and playing out your dreams. Education for women is just
as important to women as it is for men. It is an opportunity to grow to full
potential and make a better place in the workforce for women. This is treating
the whole person professionally and personally. How much better can you be by
having confidence, self-esteem, self-sufficiency, and a heart full of a
grateful attitude? These are great experiences for all to share and know that
you can be a great mother as well.
