Teach them to never give up #JustAKidFrom


I can still remember when my daughter tried out softball for the first time. I had been through it with my son playing ball, but for some reason with her it was different. Maybe it was because she is a girl and well us mom's just tend to be a little over the top when it comes to our baby girl. Or maybe seeing my little girl as an athlete was just something I hadn't ever thought about before it actually happened. I remember going to every practice and every game, just watching with awe as she learned so many new things. And I remember biting my nails every time she was up to bat. I tried to never let her see the sadness in my face when she missed because I had always taught her to never feel bad if she missed and to never give up. So any time she looked my way I would give her a smile and a thumbs up. I think it was those moments that gave her the confidence to keep trying.


Eventually she was able to have the ball pitched to her instead of using the tee, and eventually she was able to hit it too. I never gave up on her or lost faith, and in turn she never gave up on herself. She grew as an athlete and matured through it all.

Of course through all those practices and games my daughter had to stay hydrated. I can still remember her carrying her little bottles of red POWERADE around with her. It was her favorite flavor and color at the time. POWERADE has always been a hit in our house, and with their latest campaign I know why as a mom it was a good choice.
