31, Your post is both truthful and very dynamic in the content, and touched on all "Bases" of what competitive, real world Softball is all about.  I hope all of the readers of this post take a good look at the ending question.  It says it all !!!!

She has been there and knows what it takes. The lessons learned can be passed to the next group, if they are ready.

I think something needs to be cleared up - Lauren is not associated with ANY team in our area.  She has not agreed to coach, help, or do anything with any team at this time.  Lauren will be back in Texas starting in December.  Some teams have extended invitations for her to help, but she has not agreed to any of them.  She is leaving her options open at this time.  

I would hope that no one is marketing their team with false assumptions that she is helping.

You Are kidding right ???

The greatest thing about this game is ,no one knows everything ,there is no true Guru's and just when you think you know everything it takes to win, you get thrown a curveball. As a player all you can do is trust your heart , believe in your instincts and no matter what your choices are give them everything you got 110%. If you believe.... you can achieve . Bottom line if you do not enjoy it ,you will never truly succeed.    Play hard, leave it all on the field ,but most of all enjoy the ride ,it will be over before you know it ..
