I don't know if anyone remembers the travails I related last spring and summer as my then 12u dd spent her 1st summer as a pitcher. I remember one piece of advice from Kat, I believe, that I cherished as the ball kept flying over the heads of the catcher and the ump, batters walking, walking, walking. The advice was, "Just hang in there, you won't believe the difference a year makes."
Kat -- you were right on. This spring, our dd's school, finally, started a middle school team, and as a 7th grader the dd is the primary pitcher. She still has miles and miles to go before she's as polished as she will become, but she's 4-1 with 5 complete games and on Thursday night tossed a 2-hit shutout. She looks like she knew it was going to be like that all the time.
It is sweet and more sugar is coming.
