- A while back I was coaching a softball clinic. The best hitter
- I had was a young woman named Christine who had *heart*. She
- listened, worked hard, and showed great talent.
-
- When some of the boys - talentless, arrogant - stood at the plate
- and missed their fathers would shout "Don't hit like a girl!"
- The light went on for me.
