Softball Not Soccer!!!

Passion, persistence, and perseverance… all embodied deep within my baby girl’s heart and soul - as it turns out Paityn has discovered her passion in.... "softball not soccer". She is persistent in her pursuit to keep up and surpass those with years of experience and she perseveres through long days with tireless effort and countless hours of extra practice.

She commenced on this journey with stamina, energy and a positive attitude – ready to take on the world. After all, as Paityn will remind you, she is now eleven and ready to make her debut in the “real world”. Paityn’s enthusiasm for softball has already solicited much attention, appreciation and acceptance from coach's and parent's around her.

Paityn began taking hitting instructions from one of the most patient people I have ever met besides my father. Tracy has been a wonderful person for Paityn to connect with. When Paityn first started softball she had only had instruction from Paul...not saying that was bad instruction at all. Tracy broke Paityn's swing down and everything else for that case....both of them are working hard to put it all back together again. Paityn spends countless hours with Tracy on the softball fields and I can see the results pay off everytime she steps up to the plate.

Paityn is not pressured to succeed in this new world. In fact, Paityn predictably crumbles under any pressure I unassumingly assert upon her. She has simply found an activity that she desires to do well in and she spends so much of her time perfecting these talents. Paityn has discovered a new passion that brings out a fervent desire to accomplish noteworthy goals, she is persistent in her efforts to succeed and be seen, and she perseveres despite her young age or her demanding new schedule – because this is Paityn’s new world… and Paityn has undoubtedly found her way, she is determined and she is motivated… She is, no doubt, up for the challenge!
