The Softball Blog: Tomorrow Is the Day

Throughout this weekend's Super Regional series at Riverside, sophomore Bre Lockett will be blogging for CitrusOwls.com.

Tomorrow is the day. It's the day we have all been waiting and preparing for. This week we continued to do what we did last week: focus small and execute. What we did last weekend may have shocked others but didn't shock us. When we play to our potential, we are unstoppable and last weekend was just the beginning. Our team has managed to mature in a matter of a week. Mentally, physically and emotionally we came together as one. Last weekend we walked in with no doubts in our mind that we were there for one reason only-to win. Tomorrow is just another day, another opportunity to carry what we did last weekend over.

We couldn't be any more prepared. This week was dedicated to fine tuning the small things. These past two weeks our team has carried a confident, yet humbled mind set and that's when we play best. The noise we had in the dugout mixed with the support from our fans last weekend was phenomenal. When we control the tempo, we control the game. We cannot "begin" to get focused tomorrow at 5:00, that all started Monday. It's here, the time we have been working hard for. The long practices, strenuous workouts, committing completely is all we had to do. One goal. One mind. One team. One family. The time is here and everything is on the table. We are one on and off that field and being able to back each other up in any situation is what a team is truly about. We've grown to trust each other whether we need something done in the first inning or the seventh. Let's get it done.
