How it started vs how it’s going #NGWSD #Continued Abby Shipley ‘21: “I have been playing softball for as long as I can remember and the game has impacted every stage of my life! It is brought me so much joy to play this sport and be surrounded by people who have unknowingly become my friends for life. Playing softball has fueled my competitive nature by teaching me how to better myself while also pushing others to be the best they can be! I may not remember all the wins and losses but softball has given me friendships and memories that I will have for a lifetime! p.s- I am thankful my dad forced me to put on catchers gear for the first time. I might not have loved it then, but I couldn’t imagine playing any other position.”
