Coach Amanda. When EK moved up to kid pitch, she came from a team that left her confidence shaken and her love for the game fading. Coach Amanda saw that. She took the time to build EK back up — her confidence first, then her passion — and gave her back the player she was becoming. On and off the field, EK carries what Coach Amanda taught her.
EK threw a wild pitch her catcher couldn’t block. When she saw her catcher upset with herself, EK stopped everything to tell her it wasn’t on her — it was EK’s pitch. Owning her own mistake to protect a teammate’s confidence, in the middle of a game. That’s the moment that made me her Mother the proudest!
