Dear Future Catcher

Closing out World Series 2018 is pretty bittersweet. This marks the closing of one amazing chapter for Blair with her Edge team & the beginning of what we hope to be an exciting new chapter for her with a new 14U team. When we accepted the starting catching position on this young 12U team, we knew the day would come quick where we would be one of 2 players that would have to age up at the end of the season. I couldn’t have imagined the enormous impact the coaches, players & families would have not only on Blair but on our entire family. I can honestly say, making the decision to play with 12U Edge this season was THE best decision we could have ever made! To say Blair has grown is an understatement! From day one it has be such a joy to watch her interact with this awesome group & grow immensely as a catcher/player but more importantly as a person. Thank you Heath for the opportunity you have given Blair this season. For having confidence in her & seeing in her things that sometimes she couldn’t see in herself. For taking the time to get to know her as a person & helping her achieve her goals, for giving her an opportunity to be surrounded by teammates & coaches who want to see her succeed! Thank you Chad & Tommy for working with & supporting Blair & for giving up your time to invest in these girls. And to some pretty special girls & their truly special Edge families, who welcomed us with open arms & accepted us from the get go. You are like no other, you have treated my girls as if they were your own & I can’t thank you enough. We will miss you terribly but treasure each of you & all the awesome memories we have made together! 
Dear Future Edge Catcher... you are one lucky girl, embrace the opportunity & don't take it for granted...be open to learn & slow to criticize, be the kind of teammate you want others to be to you...you really are a lucky girl! Many a tears have been shed this weekend & we couldn’t be more grateful to have had such a special team for Blair to grow with which would make  moving up so difficult. 

We love you Edge Family!
