This summer has definitely been one for the books, and it’s not over yet. I have definitely been learning how to go with the flow since I have been traveling all over the southeast, with my breaks being filled with my graduate classes and TA work. That being said, I just finished my last tournament with the team I coach for the summer, and it really hit me that summer is coming to a close. As I carry on into the fall, I will have a more fixed schedule focused more on softball (playing it, not coaching) and more hands-on thesis work. I will also be attending a conference for the Student Athletic Advisory Committee representing UWF, so that is something else to look forward to.
I have learned a lot this summer and strengthened skills, such as communication with peers of all ages, that I look forward to practicing in the fall. Take some time to reflect how the last few weeks have been for you. What skills have you improved? What have you learned about yourself? As we carry on through the end of summer and into the beginning of fall, keep these reflections in mind. Here’s to another step in our journey!
