TTU Softball

Throughout my childhood I was exposed to every kind of sport. I even learned how to play those sports and enjoyed them. However one sport didn’t tickle my fancy and that was softball. I just never understood the rules and the physics to it. Everyone tried to teach me but it was an impossible mission to get me to play.
In spring 2009 semester of my college year, I was asked by my friend Whitney to play on a co-ed and all girls’ softball intramural teams at Tennessee Tech University (TTU). I told her that I was extremely terrible player and it would be a bad idea for me to play. After five minutes of her trying to convince me I gave in and decided to play, but only if no one would make fun of me or get mad at me.
We were to suppose to have our first game two weeks after our agreement but our games kept on getting canceled due to the rain flooding the softball fields. This brought me great joy to find out that I didn’t have to play. Finally our co-ed team was canceled so I didn’t have to deal with boys getting on to me about my lack of skills for the sport.
Then on Friday April 17, 2009 at 7:00 p.m., I played my first TTU softball intramural game ever. I was exceedingly nervous and had no clue what I was doing. I played the catcher position. I was scared because of the batters possibly hitting me in the head with their bats. After realizing that I wasn’t going to get hit, I started to relax. My teammates never once got onto me for my lack of skills. They were extremely supportive. I now like the game softball all thanks to TTU.
