Another thread about a coach got me thinking about this.
DD's hitting coach pulled in a favor and got her a late private tryout with a very good coach on a lesser known org. Coach is all excited because the HC does not lavish praise lightly. He brings two girls and a bunch of coaches out to watch.
DD gets out of the car and does everything like she's been embalmed. Time to first was literally 4s, pop time could have been marked on a calendar, she moves laterally like she's standing in wet concrete.
DD actually loses and cleats her own glove reaching for a ball.
They go to hit, and the girl they dragged out to pitch to her throws nowhere near the strike zone, so DD manages to loop a few low and away balls by reaching, but the only thing over the plate was above her hands. Those she abandons all form for and whiffs away with a nice big loop in her swing.
Just a dream come true all around.
