I too lost my father at the young age of 14. He was my softball coach, mentor, and best friend. Watching this episode truly brought tears to my eyes seeing that I was not the only one this situation has happened to. I too struggled with playing but decided to push through the pain and never gave up the sport. I also went through the same feelings towards my mother and excepting the fact that she needed to move one as well. I was very blessed to continue to play Division II college softball at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. As a twenty year old going into my senior year of college, I am proud to say that I am one of the starting pitchers for my organization and if it was not for my father and some of the amazing coaches that came in to pick up the missing pieces when I felt as though I could not go on, I would not be where I am today. Congradulations MTV MADE and Kelley Montalvo for the great episode you have produced and the lives you have changed. I was very pleased to had gotten the chance to see this episode of MTV’s MADE.

It is the unfortunate reality of baseball and softball that there are limited positions for a left handed player. Maybe you can’t/don’t understand why a left handed player can not play most infield positions. At least she takes advantage of being lefty and pitches.

She is a lefty and plays softball (travel, school and rec). Over the years she's had several coaches tell her she can't play a certain position because she is left-handed. My response to that is that she can play any position that she wants, she may have to work harder at some compared to others, but nonetheless she can perform. She has begun to think of her left-handedness as a disadvantage rather than the advantage it is. She is a pitcher, 1st baseman, OF and can play any position she puts her mind to. I keep telling the coaches this is not a positive thing to tell children but they can't/don't understand how it affects the child. COACHES...please think before you say anything like this to a child of any age!! My daughter struggles with this daily. She is a lefty and plays softball (travel, school and rec).

The only comment I would add is that college coaches also look for good grades. Good grades help in two ways: (a) a player must meet academic standards to qualify for admission to the college or that player is no good to the coach, no matter how talented on the field; and (b) sports scholarship funds are limited, and the more money a player receives from academic scholarships, the less a coach must consider spending from the budget for sports scholarships.
