"Fierce" Takes 3rd Place



Darla's 2nd year playing softball. This was a recent tournament she attended.

Humorous moments thus far:

"Mom there is a rotation & all of us HAVE TO pitch at one point! I dont want to pitch! Im horrible! I wind my arm round & round & throw it & it lands right here!" (pointing at the ground right at her feet)

One of my many pep talks alone with Darla on a way to a game....we decided she is too nice. She needs to get more vicious, aggressive, & wanting to win. So we decided her name at that game wasnt Darla but it was Rita! Anytime she was on the field looking a bit relaxed or semi-timid Id shout "Let's go RITA!" And she immediately took the aggressive stance.

"Go Rita!" love it love it love it. What a great idea to help Darla find her alter-ego!
We had something similar with soccer, realizing Sean needed to know that NOT sharing the ball with the other team is ok.
