Look Back Rule... Out!

The 100-degree heat quickly pushed me to my limit. I am not proud of my lack of patience in this situation. I was amazed that the coaching staff had completely missed the fundamentals of the softball specific Look-Back Rule. I should have been more patient. I should have listened more. I was stunned that I was even having to explain the rule fundamentals in a 16U State Qualifier tournament. I was sure that there must have been something I was missing. It turns out that after reviewing the video, the play happened exactly as I thought... Wow! - For a minute or two during the discussion with the coach, I thought I was either being "Punked" or temporarily transported to the "Twilight Zone". What I learned is that I need to work on keeping my patience when the heat of the sun is baking down upon my shoulders. Make it a great game! Michael Leavitt - Orem, Utah
