If i was still in high school thinking about my future in softball and in life in general , i would have never imagined myself playing softball in puerto rico. it's definitly an accomplishment and a step to a much bigger and better opportunities in life itself!
like i said, i was going to save the best for last.
well, let me tell you around june, i have recieved a phone call from a man named Marc Collat, who is involved in the professional sports industry in South Africa, Italy and in France. they are in the process of building a professional softball team in france and have offered me a contract which the amount i will not disclose in public.
unfortunetly , season practices would start in july 30th. i have already committed myself to this team in puerto rico and wasn't looking for another "option" while i was here.
another reason why i chose not to join , is because season is from september til april of 2010. i wasn't planning to celebrate my birthday without my family since i've been gone already and the fact that i miss them terribly!
so i made a wise choice. many of you would have jumped into the offer like a lunatic. not me. in order to understand where i am coming from. all this is a business. there is no guarantee that you will make the team, even if you sign a contract.
Here, where i stand now. its guaranteed ! besides, being committed made me feel good. i did this for my team....
but im not overwhelmed by this. more and more opportunities are coming into my life. can i imagine myself, representing the Mexican National Team in Nicaragua for the 2010 world cup? definitly! i've been in constant contact with the treasurer of the national team and they are in need of a pitcher, im just a lucky girl aren't i?
being a girl from a small town and doing big things is amazing!
oh crap! how could i forget about spain...yes, spain 2010? we'll see....
i guess i can say im not feeling so guilty when i decided not to play JC ball....its all coming together :)
