Time is Winding Down

Everyone is counting down the days until our first softball game on March 5th. Mostly I think it is because that is the sign that our 5:00 AM practices will finally be over. Everyone is exhausted and many of us can barely find time to eat a decent sit-down meal. On a paper that coach gave us about playing D3 sports, it said that we play D3 sports because we love the game, not because we are getting paid, or getting any type of scholarship. It's all about the love of the game. It must be true that every single one of us loves the sport, or we wouldn't be waking up for practice at 4:00 AM. Either it's the love of the sport, or some sort of mental disease that all of us contracted. Either way, I can honestly say I still love it, even though it takes up at least 17 hours out of a 24 hour day.
