Bad Coaches

Once there was a girl who wanted to be the best of the best. She had goals and wanted to achieve them no matter what. Nothing was going to get in her way, she was going to work day in and day out to get this. She had good days and bad days but still pushed through. Every day was different skills, different ways of doing it. Coaching herself so she gets better because she wasn’t getting much coaching. Focusing so hard on herself that she didn’t realize that the better she was getting the more she got overlooked. That is me, Nataliegh Moody, the girl who every coach has overlooked.

Due to not getting much coaching, I was harder on myself than anyone else was on me. I would keep putting myself down saying that I could be better than what I was playing that game. Which was really well, I was making plays, hitting dingers, doing everything right but I still felt like I was letting the team down. It could have been due to doing really well and possibly making them feel bad about it. But they were getting the coaching that I didn’t so they should have been getting better too. I think that everything went bad when I started to understand the game at the age of 8 like fully understand what needed to happen to be a successful team. Which in all helped us during big tournaments, but it still hurt us because not everyone was at the level. I also realized that I was maybe being a bit selfish in trying to get better really fast or just teaching myself off of college softball plays and baseball plays. Which kind of makes me feel like I am just showboating without realizing it, just by playing my game and trying to do what’s best for them like hit the ball and get out in the field.

With that being said for my P.O.V is that there is a lot of wrongdoings from not being coached by the coaches, to take it over by myself, to the lack of communication of if I was being too showboating. The situation was just handled the wrong way but in my defense, I wasn’t being coached and had to better myself somewhere.
