College Athletics Also Almost Over

This last weekend, my baseball team played in Idaho and it was the last road trip of my collegiate athletic career. I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to play baseball after my basketball eligibility finished up. I obviously had a lot more passion about basketball, but it was a bittersweet moment when it finally set in that the end of my college career is near. I pitched in the first game of the series and we were losing. The rest of my team acted like the game was over and it felt like the air had been taken out of our sails. I stayed positive until the last out was made. After the game I went and talked to my parents and they told me how proud of me that they were. It made me sad that this was the last time that my parents take a road trip to come see me play. I have been supported my entire life and I could not ask for more from my parents. It is sad, but I couldn't be happier with my experiences. It made me take a step back and realize how many teammates I had throughout the years of playing that never had their parents there. I hope that one day I will be able to come see all of my children's games. I thank my parents for everything they have done. We have our conference tournament starting Wednesday and I am going to cherish the fact that I have had a wonderful athletic career. I thank everyone who has helped me reach this point!
