Watched Brit’s team lose another close game against a bigger school. Having never played before, she’s doing great. Starting second baseman and batting 5th. After the game she was brooding because of her last at bat. I explained to her that baseball/softball is not soccer. Going 1 for 3 is a good day. I said, “batting is mostly about failure, so get over it.” She looks at me with tears in her eyes and says, “you don’t get it dad, failure is not an option for me.” "Then why do you have a C in spanish?“, I said. She laughed and her woe is me moment was forgotten.
