Every so many years, a college athlete comes along that makes a difference.
A college athlete that inspires fans off all ages and all types.

Bama pitcher Montana Fouts will never again wear Crimson, but before she moves on to the next step in her career, she has written an amazing, heartfelt letter to the sport of softball itself.

Keep a tissue handy, as Montana writes this:

"Dear softball,

Where do I begin?
I don't know if I've ever had the words to express how grateful I am to you.
For as long as I can remember, I've had you.

You've taught me life lessons that I can only learn from you- hard work and sacrifice are well worth it.
To be durable and strong in moments when I felt weak.

How to get knocked down, punched in the gut and be stronger and taller than I was before.
To be appreciative each time I throw my glove on or lace up my cleats.

How to overcome what seem like the worst struggles and failures and turn them into the blessings I now cherish and wouldn't change.

To be resilient in the face of failure, loss and heartbreak.

To be gracious, appreciate the little things and how to be vulnerable.

You've allowed me to find a fire within myself and find a passion within the deepest parts of my heart.
And with that same heart, you have given me a love I never knew I had.

You have blessed me with sisters who I would die for and who I will have forever.
People who will be my forever family, memories that are irreplaceable and time that I only wish I had more of.

You have allowed me to find a place where I can inspire others, that wherever they come from they can do whatever they dream of and more.

Because of you I have felt heartbreak and a weight like no other.
At times I wanted to give up on you, but you never gave up on me.

Because of you I have also felt family, overwhelming joy and love.

You taught me that even in the most perfect of moments that I'm not meant to be perfect, because Jesus is, and how to have faith that will get me through any storm.

While I love you with all my heart, you softball are not who I am, but what I do, and I thank you for teaching me that and loving me along the way.

And for that, softball, you are my blessing."

Yes, every so many years an athlete comes along that leaves a legacy.

Montana Fouts will tell you that softball has been her blessing.

But to millions, Montana Fouts has been a blessing to softball.

And the sport is better because of it.

Don’t believe us??? Ask Dusty… #LetThemPlay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Over coaching & micromanagement at youth level is 100% ego driven by coaches & an absolute joke… Let the kids develop naturally and it’s the coaches job simply to give them some solid guidance along the way… Playing multiple positions & sports is essential to kids development… Grateful for Dusty’s validating perspective 🙏 Let’s just keep charging & inspiring 👊

Defense isn't about making great plays, it's about making routine plays routinely!

Good foot work gets you in position to field the ball properly

A good approach angle leads to good, hard contact and a good launch angle...

Good post by @juancamachosiny He’s teaching #Plakata @cpena23 👊🏽 HITTERS: We talk about staying low in the cage in order to be high in the game especially when facing high Velo.
