i have never been an athletic person , but my parents insisted that i participate in a sport , so i chose softball . i was so excited when i heard the crack of the bat as i hit the ball . it was such a satisfying moment . oh i know the feeling ! i had the same affinity for swimming . my mom said i should give it a try . at first i did n't want to but as i got better i started to love it . i never became the best player on the field by any means , but it was so nice to not fail completely . we just bought a pool because my children love swimming ! we do n't have to be the best to enjoy what we do right ? that 's very true and i think it was the mental aspect that was the most encouraging for me . i was driven to succeed and i did it ! it was very empowering .
