Softball and family time

I have played softball since I was 6 years old. I ended up receiving a full ride scholarship to college, which made me a student athlete. I could have not been more proud to be able to continue my hobby throughout college. Even after graduating college I still do pitching lessons for softball and help coach a travel softball team on the side. The most important person in my life is of course my daughter. When I am not doing my hobby Piper and I go and spend time together or I watch her do what she loves which is gymnastics.
