A Team Highlights

Coach Murphy shared that softball is a great sport because it requires “so many fundamental athletic traits,” including agility, “great hand/eye coordination,” strength, and determination.

He also explained that baseball and softball are “a sport of failure,” noting that “the best hitters of all time are only successful 3 out of 10 times.” Because of that, players must learn to “handle adversity every time they step up to the plate or play their position in the field.”

Coach Murphy said the team had “a very good year” and that all of the girls “improved from Day 1” while continuing to add skills that will help them advance in the sport.
