The End

I have decided that after my senior year of high school softball that that will be the last time I play organized competive softball. I have been playing softball/baseball since I was 5. The reality of this has recently hit me over the last two weeks and it I haven't gotten fully used to this idea of being done with something after spending years training to be the best. I always thought that I would go to college and continue to play softball and for a time I wanted to go to the pros. I realized quickly that I didn't want to do the pro thing. But over the previous summer I decided that I didn't want to even play in college. I wanted to do something different in my life and concentrate more on my studies since the rest of my life will be reflected on my academics not sports. Now every game I consider how this will be the last time I play this team or travel to a certain place. The reality of this is weird to me and I know I will miss it, but right now I'm realizing all the positives of this decision and the very few negatives. It's exciting to be done with this part of my life.
