“FROM THE AGE OF FOUR, I HAVE PLAYED SOFTBALL, AND SLOWLY IT HAS BECOME A MAIN FOCUS OF MY LIFE. SOFTBALL HAS BROUGHT ME MANY OPPORTUNITIES AND FRIENDSHIPS I WOULD HAVE NEVER HAD WITHOUT IT. IT HAS ALSO BUILT MY CONFIDENCE AND GAVE ME COURAGE TO PUSH THROUGH CHALLENGES. ON AND OFF THE FIELD, SOFTBALL HAS PUSHED ME TO BE MY BEST SELF. WHEN I STARTED CATCHING, THE GAME BECAME MORE PERSONAL TO ME. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE POSITION. NOT ONLY DID CATCHING HELP ME IMPROVE MY SKILLS AND CONFIDENCE AS A PLAYER, BUT IT ALSO HELPED ME BE A LEADER AND HAVE MORE SELF-CONFIDENCE SOFTBALL HAS BECOME AN OUTLET IN MY LIFE AND IS OFTEN A STRESS RELIEVER.” – BRIANNA SEGAR.
