Alicia update from Surf City Showcase 2012

Coach Bastian wanted this tournament to be about professional development for Alicia.  He wanted her to learn from this experience and it was not about being seen by the college coaches this year.  He has already invited her back to play on next year's team.

Alicia's main purpose in this tournament was to help move players over to the next base and to help get them in to home plate.  She was able to do this by making many sacrifice plays, performing takes and fake plays. She was even coached on how to take a hit if needed.  Alicia was able to distract the catcher with these plays so that a throw to second base would not get there in time to tag the TFS player out.

Alicia ended up with a hit against a pitcher that had verbally committed to UCLA.  She had two walks and 8 sacrifice plays (all out of 12 at bats).  Alicia had never experienced playing against top teams like these in the U.S.

Alicia Daly # 4- Coach Bastian said she is a totally different player from China.  This tournament for her was mainly about professional development and not being seen.  Coach Bastian wants her back next year, because , next year it will be about being seen.

This is the first work out that Coach Monti set up for Alicia.  She is in good shape for the athletes around NC but will need more conditioning for other parts of the country and college.  Coach Monti's team has to pass a conditioning test each year just like the ones the college coaches require.

Donated Equipment part 2

The rest of the equipment was given to the Beijing Normal University softball team.  They were very exccited to receive it.

The Daly family received an e-mail this morning from the Beijing Jiaotong University.
Here is what it said : 

Thank you for the gears and suits that you sent us days ago. We really appreciate your help. We were so surprised and excited when we were told to get those equipments from Miss Xin and the excitement grew larger the moment we saw the bats and gloves. 

     We will make good use of the kits you gave us and fight hard for better skills and prizes and to make our baseball years more memorable.

     If you come to china someday, please inform us. We’d like to invite you to our school and show our team to you.

     Thanks again for the kits and wish you a good day.

                             Yours truly

                                                                  Baseball team of Beijing Jiaotong University

Alicia and the Daly family hopes that this will help improve the sport of softball and someday get softball back into the Olympics.
