Words can't explain how proud Paul and I are of Danielle -#7 of the TimberRattlers -!! She just improved the whole season with such hard work and determination. Her confidence at the beginning of the season had been shaken by a few things. For one, she played the dreaded 'outfield'. For this usual third base'man' that was not acceptable. This was her first *real* season of fast pitch AND she played up an age bracket - 12U [since she was 10 in Jan. she could've still been in 10U]. So she had a lot against her, so to speak. But by the end of the season, she was at third base and LOVIN' it. We must not forget Aunt Karen - who herself played ball in college on scholarship - who took Dani 2-3 times every week to work with her [and WORK with her] and build confidence and memories. THANK YOU, AUNT KAREN! No greater joy to Paul and I than to see her strive and achieve with this team. I think Coach Aunt Karen is mighty proud too ["You bring joy to my heart."]! The 'Rattlers' ended the regular season in second place, but won the end of the season tournament in first. They really deserve it! Gooooooo Rattlers! SSSsssssssss.....

Way to go Danielle! A big high five to Therese and Sophia too!
Aside from the great memories made with her Aunt Karen, she, no doubt, learned a lot from the one-on-one coaching. Lucky girl to have such a great role model.
