Thoughts From Our Leaders- Katie Wills

We are three weeks into classes and have officially completed our first full week of practice including the ever anticipated 5:30 AM!! We are all so excited to finally be fielding, throwing, and hitting that we sometimes forget that all of this is happening on the blue courts!! We have come to stand by the motto: regardless if we are practicing on the blue courts or playing at Robertson we give everything we have leaving nothing on the FIELD.

The semester is already moving at a fast pace and the papers and exams are following quickly behind. This is the time when it is so great to have softball because it gives us at least two hours a day where we can clear our minds of this week’s Bio and concentrate on the thing that we all love. We have four and a half weeks of practice until we head to Virginia to compete in the Beach Blast Tournament and then the following week it’s on to Florida to play in the Rebel Spring Games.

As fast as this semester is going, I know that before we know it the next four and a half weeks will be over and we will be outside playing. I can’t wait for the quality bonding time on the plane ride or in the fifteen passenger vans. But most of all I am anxious to get outside on the field and show our opponents our HEART, HUSTLE, and LOVE for the GAME!!!- Katie Wills- Junior
