My name is Courtney Crawford, I live in Atascadero California, and I am a lefty! =) I have played for over 7 years and I play 1st and pitcher. In my fastpitch league I am the only left handed girl, in the entire league. I love that, but I field left, but bat right! I am in the process of learning how to hit, slap, and bunt left but, as I said, I'm just beginning! haha! I think it is so cool that you can bat left, sometimes I wish I could bat left, but batting right I take as a special gift the "softball god" gave me! =) I really wish I could come see one of your games, but none are local =( but someday I will watch you. Well, right now I have been pitching 7 days a week, I am getting very tired, so I have been taking a break this week. I am not a very fast pitcher, but I have speed, and I can place the ball, but sometimes I can't get my speed to go with my control?  I really am practicing really hard, but sometimes I can't keep control and speed. I also need help with my change ups, and how to make the ball spin a certain way...any advice??? haha i could use some because I am one of the main pitchers, and our season is getting closer and closer, so if you have any helpful advice i could use it! Thank you so so so much!&lt;br&gt;&amp;lt;3courtney&lt;br&gt;p.s.  when I pitch I also need help with placing my foot toward where I want the ball to go, and how big of a step I get. Like when you step, it gives you momentum, and speed but it is hard to remember...HELP!!!! haha thank you! &amp;lt;3&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">leftygomez13</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 28 Feb 2009 00:32:42 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: January 14, 2009</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/011409.html#comment-6718096</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Cat, Congrats to you and the girls on the great tourney last weekend!

You are her idol.  She wants to be  great like you and practices really hard.   She didn't get to show her pitching skills at the tryouts, so she is pretty bummed.  We feel really bad for her.  Do you have any encouraging words that might help her feel better?  We would appreciate and be forever grateful of any help you could give her.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks from Sledge's mom and dad.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">sledge12</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:00:49 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: January 14, 2009</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/011409.html#comment-6597498</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey what have you been up to lately?

I hope you had a blast at the coaches convention, i know you're schedule is really busy between the Blue Demon schedule and school, how do you do it? Then the pro season will start up also, Did i read the article wrong or are you a brakette now, or was that just Jenny, or did I read it all the way wrong, I always figured you would be with Rockford, for a while yet.  I would assume that you will be on the national team also.  Wait is there a National Team still? I get confused. If so, again how do you do it? you have to be exhausted! take care, stay Healthy&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">urawesome</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 21 Feb 2009 03:06:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: January 14, 2009</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/011409.html#comment-6419519</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Cat i am your number one fan!!!!!!

My name is Maranda Perdue from Burkesville, Kentucky. I play softball for my Middle School team. I am 13 years old and can pitch 57 mph. I even practice and scremage against my highschool team to try and get better. I know I still have a long ways to go, but I hope to be just like you. The town where i live is very small, but I'm trying to make a big name for me and get my name out about my abilities as a young softball pitcher. &lt;br&gt;You are the greatest pitcher ever to me! &lt;br&gt;.. What can I say, i am a huge fan! I have watched all of your games. I want so bad to come to one of your USA games to watch you, however, money is short these days. I have always wanted to meet you. You are my all-time role model. I have accomplished my screw ball, rise ball, my change up, and my curve ball. But they do need some improving to get as good as you. When I finish highschool, I hope to go to either the Texas, Longhorns and play for them, or Arizona. It has been my dream to meet you and follow in your footsteps. I hope I can accomplish that dream. I am a true Cat Osterman fan..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was also wondering if you had any advice. Like for warming up, during the game, practices, tips on my screw balls and change ups, things that has helped you become better at softball. &lt;br&gt;Once again, you are favorite player and my hero, I hope you have a WONDERFUL Valentines Day.  Thank You.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;*Maranda Perdue* Burkesville, Kentucky &lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">LadyPanthersSoftball</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2009 08:35:21 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: January 14, 2009</title><link>http://www.catosterman.com/blog/011409.html#comment-6255529</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Cat!
