“Finally! College softball is finally here. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to be back on the field again and to get this year started....
“As a team, we realized how important it is to slow yourself down and breathe, whether that's before getting in the batter’s box or after the umpire makes a bad call on you. Breathing is an awesome way to slow your mind down and to stay in the present....
“Think about it like this: If you are successful three out of 10 times as a batter, you are considered a 'great hitter.' So how do you deal with the seven times you fail?
“As a team, we came up with the saying, “So what, next pitch.” It is even in big letters in our dugout as a reminder to always stay in the moment.”
