Heart, Hustle, Grace, Grittiness and Class – Women’s Athletics

June 8, 2021

It’s that time of the year and it has been over 700 hundred days but The Women’s College World Series Championship round begins tonight!!

So far this year from Conference Championships through Regionals, Super Regionals and through the elimination rounds In Oklahoma City, the play on the field has been astronomical, exceptional and outstanding!!! The athletes on the field has been Magical. Many Dreams Became Reality on the field and some Dreams Got Dashed on The Field. But in my humble opinion each and every girl that stepped on the field from Conference play till today and beyond are making their dreams come true. For each women who steps on a field and picks up a bat and ball you became a winner in my eyes, because through your love for the sport, you spent countless hours practicing, perfecting, fine tuning the sport that sparks the fire in your heart and eyes!!! I am blessed that what was suppose to be one day at the field to snap some pics has turned into a never ending striving to catch and capture the moments athletes who catch, hit, kick, run and throw “Like A Girl”! Are girls who turn into exceptional women again my humble opinion!!

This years WCWS has been exceptional with history making moments and athletic efforts that appear to be Super Hero Like! These athletes have me hooping and hollering to the point my fur people started looking at me like I have lost my mind and maybe I did just a little. There have been a few tears shed because of the efforts displayed and the sadness of knowing for some of these fine athletes it will be there last time on the field in the big light!!!

But the one thing that I am assured of is that there are more Super Heroes on the way and I look forward to seeing their moments and hope that I am able to catch and capture as many moments as I can for a long time to come. And it is also my dream to maybe one day stand in the photo well at The Women’s College World Series and catch and capture moments and memories there and it would be an added blessing and bonus if my Texas Family is standing our there on The Field Where Dreams Become Reality!!!!!

So let me close out by expressing my thanks to each and every athlete, coach, athletic trainer, team manager, parent that makes a little girls dream turn into Athletic Women’s Reality!!!!!

Lastly I will address the inequality that I am being made aware of between women and men’s athletics. These women work hard, display Heart, Hustle, Grace, Grittiness, Blood, Sweat and Hardships that the male athletes are not put through. Someone at the executive level needs to step up and do The Right Thing! Let’s make the future promising for that little girl who will become the fine athletic women one and off the field.
