OK here goes.. This past week DD was at a training camp for the Great Britain's Senior Women's National Team. Here are some things that she experienced this week that I would never in a million years think could / would happen:
1- Caught 7 innings in 4 games against OKC Spark and Team USA Elite Women's team and shared the field with some absolute titans of the game.
2- Caught for an OU championship pitcher who pitched in game 2 of this years WCWS.
3- Got an AB off of Keilani Ricketts, put a good swing on it but hit a hard line drive ground ball to 2B for an easy 4-6-3 double play.
4- Got plunked by Lexi Kifoyl and Valerie Cagle
5- Experience a total softball immersion week of hard work, amazing coaches and support staff, and an "all-in" approach to getting this team ready for LA2028. I'm totally grateful for their support of my daughter and what an experience she had
Next stop Sao Paulo for U18 Softball World Cup then Kutno Poland for the U22 European Championships!
I don't know what the takeaways are besides sometimes it's nice being lucky with right place, right time!
