Softball rewards athletes who breathe under pressure. Nerves are normal. Panic is a choice. Build an at-bat routine you trust: clear the last pitch, get the sign, commit to your zone, attack. You don’t need to crush—just compete with confidence and discipline.
You will chase sometimes. You will miss sometimes. You still control your body language, your breath, and your plan. Pitchers feel fear. Defenders see doubt. Refuse to show it. Be the hitter who looks like the count is always in her favor.
Confidence isn’t magic. It’s earned in the cage and proven in the box. Prepare like a pro and the game will slow down.
