Jennie Finch

Sometimes I’ve been asked why I devoted so much of my life to softball. It’s a hard question to answer because the answer is so multi-faceted.

So here are just a few reasons:

I love the game.
I love the feeling of being part of the team, of playing for the name on the front of my jersey and not the back.
I love to compete against others and test myself.
I love to take risks and accept a challenge.
I love to push my body as hard as I can and feel the sweat drip off my face.
I love the process and the feeling of satisfaction that comes from working toward goals, both individual and collective.
I want to make my family proud of me.
Because I can! My mother and grandmother never had the opportunity that I have.
Playing helps me both build confidence and overcome the fear of failure.

What about you? What’s your “why” behind what you do? ... See more
