Junior Renae Bromley is first up in a softball team blog that will chronicle the weekly life of the Mean Green. The 2010 season opens on Thursday, Feb. 11 on the road against Mississippi Valley State.
January 13 - 22
Break is over and crunch time begins. Softball season is among us and pre-season is just the beginning. With all the girls excited and anxious for the season to come, we began our spring lives as the North Texas softball team. The first week was the hardest, with three-a-days to four-a-days, to the most surprising, our first five-a-day.
The training room is always packed with all of us heating and icing our legs, arms, backs, and shoulders before and after practice hoping to regain feeling in our bodies. The soreness and aching are nothing compared to the drive and heart we have to get us through season. Each of us just as excited as our teammate standing next to us ready to take on anything the season has to offer.
School started and our lives began to get a little more hectic. With our days revolving around school and practice, we begin to remember what it means to be student-athletes. Waking up in the early morning for weights then rushing to the bus to get to class on time, we have no time to stop. After lunch we all make our way to the field for practice, and then home to eat and study. That is what I would call a daily routine of a softball student athlete.
I look forward to seeing what this season brings us. We have twenty days till our first game, and with each passing day our anticipation grows and we become more and more excited.
