Jennie Finch played college softball at Univeristy of Arizona. I hope to play college softball as well but it might not be at Arizona. I want to go to either University of Oklahoma, University of Arizona, Tennessee, orBaylor. To me, it doesn't really matter where I go as long as I get to play softball in college!!!!!!!!
If you want to go play softball in college you need to get a scholarship. This can be difficult because there are many steps you have to take. Fist you have to get noticed and put yourself out to the public so they know you're looking. Second, you have to have good grades! C's, D's and F's won't help you because they are looking for girls who can keep up with their school schoolwork but also have enough time for sports.
Also you have to take the time to be on a recruitment website and tell them everything about yourself and what you can contribute to the team. I have already made a recruitment profile but it hasn't been confirmed yet. It is better to do it before your junior year so they can start to see if you have what it takes to play the game. NCSA.com is a recruiting site and this website not only had softball recruitments but every other sport out there!
Recently in Jennie Finch's tweets, she has been playing some ball with her old team mates. I think that is a very good idea because it is like a reunion and they can stay close to each other and talk about what has been happening in their lives. I don't see how she can play softball while she is pregnant though!! I would think it would be bad for the baby, but I guess as long as she doesn't get too rough the baby will be fine!
The year 2010 is one I will always remember not only because it was my first year of high school fast pitch, but also because it was the first year of fast pitch at Heritage Hall!!! My dad and I have been trying to get it started for a while and finally it started to pick up. Alyssa Bayless's dad made our own team website - Chargers Website The site has the schedule and results, photos, and a video of the team hitting and me pitching. I also received my varsity letter and I'm excited because at the end of my senior year I will have 4 pins for all the years I play varsity.
Jennie has an official website where you can buy many great things.Click Here For Website She has clothing and collectibles in her online store. Also on the homepage she has the dates for her camps and all the information for it.

In fastpitch softball there are many pitches a pitcher can throw. Themost common pitch to throw is the fastball, which goes straight down the middle of the plate or you can work on location and go inside low or high or outside low or high.
A change-up is one of the most important pitches. If you want the batter to be confused, throw her a change-up. Compared to a fastball the change-up is slower and half the speed of a regular pitch.The way you throw it is crucial to the pitch and it is hard to learn.
A curve ball is another important pitch if you want the batter to swing at off pitches. When you do this, the ball starts going toward the plate and thencurvesover towards the outside of the plate if you are right-handed and the inside of the plate if you are left-handed. The pitch similar to this is the screw ball. This pitch is thrown to a left handed batter and is similar to the curve.
A drop ball might be my favorite. It doesn't go directly into the catchers glove, it drops very low. It starts out as a regular pitch until it gets halfway and then it drops. Along with the change up, it is also hard to learn the motion.
Arise ball is one that I don't know how to throw yet. Obviously, like the name of it, it rises. It's the opposite of the drop ball and it is very hard to hit.
Out of all of these pitches, I know 5 out of 6. I only need to learn the rise ball and then I'll be set!
Jennie's motto has always been "Dream&Believe". She has her own line of glitter headbands, and of course, I had to get some! These headbands are extremely cute and add a little femininity to playing softball. They also look really nice while you're playing because the light reflects the glitter and you can see it shining.I have four of them: 2 white, 1 blue, and 1 gold. I am obsessed with them! They are $10.00 and they hold in your hair while you are playing. Not only are they for softball, they can be used for other active activities, or you can wear them with your everyday clothes to give your outfit some sparkle. :)
Jennie Finch likes to tweet. She tweets about her life, her son, and what she is doing. I follow her of course! I like to look at the pictures she puts on there and what all she has to say. Recently, she has been talking about her indigestion and heartburn from her pregnancy!
