Folks,
Just my opinion, but we sign on to do the job.
Sometimes it is easy and sometimes it is not.
But we do our job.
I am not a coach and I don't care what skill level the competitors are. I stand behind the plate and do my job. As was mentioned earlier, how hard can a 10, 11, 12 year old throw, that my equipment ( which I wear at the varsity level ) won't protect me? I'm going to stay there and do my job. If the catcher can sit back there and face her pitcher, can I do no less? I will let my equipment and my reflexes do the job and pray for only one of these type games a year.
Just my humble opinion.
