Off Season

By: Beau Attyah

It’s finally the month of October! The month that baseball starts back up. It’s the first step towards the baseball season.  We practice on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from two o’clock to seven forty-five. We also practice on Sunday’s form eleven to four. I have never had a practice that lasted for five and a half hours but this is a great change to make us all better baseball players. If we want to defend our conference championship title we have be perfect and practice makes us perfect.
But coming to a well-known university with great expectations academically it is tough to manage your schoolwork with baseball. With the long hours of off season practice you learn how to prioritize your time and be successful on and off the field.  Recently we had are first off-season game against Blinn College in Brenham Texas. We played two very tough games back to back. We lost the first game but won the second. During the games we played with a lot of intensity and aggression that really made are coach happy. I got to play in my first college game with one at bat and caught the last inning of the game. It was an awesome experience and a time I will never forget. In a week and half we have are fall world serious best of 5 games, which I heard, is the best part of the off-season. I cannot wait for the competition to begin.

Friends

Going from high school to college is one of the most difficult transitions in your lifetime.  It’s the time when you are released form your leash back at home and off to a whole new life style. Leaving your friends and family back at home is very hard but college is when you get to start all over and make strong bonds with new friends. When I arrived on Trinity’s campus I didn’t know one person. I was nervous and hesitant to make new friends. At first I thought I was the only person that didn’t know anyone but I was wrong.  Through Trinity baseball I quickly made new friends, which helped me adapt to the new environment. We all quickly became close to each other and hang out all the time.  I feel if I didn’t have trinity baseball I would have never found such a great group of guys.

These past six weeks have been so much fun hanging out and working out as a team. I feel like we are already a new family. When meeting the upper classman I thought they didn’t want anything to do with me but I was wrong. They treat me like I have been a friend of theirs forever. The Trinity baseball program not only has a really good team but also has a very strong relation ships with each other. I couldn’t have been luckier to be in the position I’m in today.  Some of my really close friends form baseball can be seen from the slide show.  To be viewed in a larger screen click on this link.
