Day 225: Rookie Sports Writer

Daily Blog Challenge Day 225/365

Part of my duties as assigned as the Head Softball Coach is writing an article each week about our season.  I like writing, so it is not completely painful and I am glad I helped with writing articles for the local paper when I was in High School.

I find myself very far behind on my Blog Challenge, so I figured posting these articles would be a way to help me catch up.  I also hope to get feedback and learn how to be a better writer.
