The Final Chapters – Millie 19 & 20

Part 19 Cooler weather. The dark period. Somehow, this year it seemed more dark than ever. Chillier. The leaves crunching under my feet seemed so loud. Summer had ended. I walked up to the front door of Coach Mike’s house just as the sun was setting. A perfect and inviting wreath hung on the door,…

WORTH IT | Softball is For Girls

We are really excited to introduce you to Randi, who will be helping us a get a better look "Inside the Fence" of the softball field. Randi is A LOT of things that make her perfect as a contributor here at Softball is For Girls.... She is a former cut-hroat travel ball competitor, the DAUGHTER of a legendary softball coach, a 'retired' COLLEGE softball player, the wife of a former high level travel ball coach, a HIGH SCHOOL coach (softball & lacrosse), a High School teacher, and a mama to two beautiful girls. So, shes been "Inside that fence" for a long time and sees and hears and KNOWS things that clearly....we just can't or don't or shouldn't know...She is that person that the players go to and say "Please, Randi - I know my mom wants me to pitch but can you please put me in the outfield?" She is also insightful, empathetic yet EXTREMELY CUT-THROAT COMPETITIVE (like, will do anything to win) - and has a great understanding of what it takes to do just that. So Welcome, Randi!

Millie (Explaining Mama)
