Should I do softball or not?
So I’m doing summer softball league and it’s almost over. After that there is a fall softball league. The thing is, summer is for everyone and fall is for everyone, yet fall has way better players. It’s going against A team players.
I love softball. All my friends are doing the fall softball. One coach even wants my sister and I on his team. The thing is, I don’t think I’m good enough. I’m not an A team player. I’m just going to embarrass myself. But I love playing softball and I really want to do it. My sister and friends are doing it and I don’t know if I should do it or not.

Fear is a demotivator and encourages complacency. You would do good to just try and let the chips fall where they may knowing that hard work doesn't always equate to success in what your striving for but it does equal success in other ways.

Its better to have tried and failed than to not have tried at all. A famous saying.
There's actually more to it than you may think. The only word that sticks out to you right now is failing or possibly failing. Here's another way to look at it. You can't ace everything you attempt in life. There are some things you are going to be naturally tons better than anyone else at without even training or practicing, a talent that comes naturally. And then there will be other things in life that you try which comes easily to others but you have to work much harder to produce the same results or close to the same as others. And there will be things you try in life where no matter how much you practice and how much effort, it all comes to nothing, you simply are not good at it at all.
Here's the most important part....the only way to find out what your strengths and weaknesses are is to try everything, giving those things in life a real good chance, being dedicated to doing your best. Then see where your talents lie. same with softball. Unless you are a seer who has psychic powers to see the future outcomes, you don't know that you are weak or will fail. right now its just your thoughts that believe everyones better than you. We can't rely on those kinds of thoughts tho since humans are naturally more critical of themselves than others. It also takes others to see your talents, ones you may not know you have, or ones you deny even if they're plain to see.
The only way to go through life is trying lots of different things, find out where your interests lie and where your strengths lie. theres no other way to find out than to experiment this way and yes it mean failing at some things, doing average at others and aceing some. If you don't want to end up as an older adult full of regret for never trying anything due to fear of failing, and missing out on experiencing a fulfilling life, then take the risks...its part of how to discover who you are dear.
