Rebecca's Story

My passion is softball. I've always liked softball and playing on the field. When I went to the park one day, I decided to apply for the park team. I attended my first practice, and I immediately fell in love with the sport. I picked up my glove, and when I started throwing and catching, there was something about feeling of the ball in my glove that gave me a rush. I realized I had a true passion for the sport when I felt relaxed just warming up. At my first game, the bat in my hand and watching for balls through my helmet made me feel relaxed. Feeling like it was my way out of the world and into my own made my passion for softball grow into as big as now.

Attending the US Sports Nike Softball will help me pursue my passion by improving my skills to play high school softball. I will be able to play positions that I have wanted to play since I started playing the sport. I think it may even help me build my skills so much that I can get a scholarship for Softball to attend one of my dream schools, UCLA. If I attend this camp, I can build discipline as player and be able to balance my passion and my seriousness.
