Peaking Too Soon


When Clare goes to her hitting coach, he stands behind a screen to pitch.  Yesterday, he told her, “I’m glad we only went for a half-hour.  I don’t think the netting would’ve held up much longer than that.”  In other words, his pupil was dialed in.

The only problem with that is it’s another fifteen days before Clare’s first game in Florida.  Until then, more snow and barely the hope of a thaw in the forecast.  But it could be worse.  Two other CCIW teams already are playing in Florida.  Even before we go, they’ll be back with nothing to do but wait and practice indoors.  Unlike football, you can’t play softball on ice or in the mud.  It really is a skill game.
