Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

A Name, a Paper, and an Open Road


First glimpse of this life and you think it’s long.
Three years later you’re looking into your final year. 
Exciting?
Somewhat, but not as exciting as it was on the first day.
It’s a relief, as well as, intimidation.
4 years of work put on a paper,
That’s it?
No guarantee of success?
Maybe I’m just being pessimistic
Or maybe I’m being truthful.
