Personal Narrative: My Summer Coach
Starting the summer team was great, my coach trusted me and played me probably more than anyone on the team, if we were in a hard situation like, going to play a hard team, I got the chance to face them. The summer was going great. The trip to West Virginia, College coaches like me, they talked to me about playing for them, and this was also only my junior year and at the end of the year I was the number 1 on the team in pitching stats. Now the end of the summer, school was about to start for my senior year I started thinking about not leaving the states to play baseball, I wanted to stay in Florida because I thought, I was good enough. At this point my summer coach was no longer at my high school, he was fired from his position because of
reasons, the next time I seen him I ask “do you think it would be possible if you helped look for a college to play for in Florida” he looked me dead in the eyes and said no, not joking not even slightly. I looked at him ‘’would i even have a chance at a small school in Florida?” He said no again, insisting I was not good enough and the only chance I had was going to a school he wanted me to go to in West Virginia. In this moment I was thinking maybe he knew what was best for me but really I was not sure, so I did not react to much to his response, but this is where the tension began between us.
