Preparing for the Championship Rounds

The HFTP softball team is comprised of very busy individuals, who are dedicated to their day jobs and when they have that one hour on Tuesday nights, they will give it their best shot.  This will be a very daunting task to motivate the team for the next game and if we win the first one, we get into the championship game.  Now, I will manage with only three women.  The ratio is six guys to four women, but the ladies are the most dedicated, career-minded teammates.  This creates a challenge for me, as I scramble constantly for substitute players “Subs” to cover.  I have seen teams win with three girls.  But our little team lost our starting shortstop in the second week of the season, and most of the girls are travelling.  But tomorrow night’s game will most likely be our last in the JCCSF league for a while.  I don’t think that I will guide them until 2015 in the JCCSF, but we will have a long off-season.  I will get the team motivated despite our challenges.  A six-win, one-loss record going into the semi-finals is not bad.  We hope to prevail.
