Dear Girls with Game,
I see you. You are working hard, trying your best, and figuring out who you are and who you want to be.
I wish someone would have told me earlier to chase the things that set your heart on fire. Finding your purpose, pursuing your dreams, and having a relentless, determined spirit can sometimes make all the difference.
Everything that is meant for you will find you. Don’t treat failure as defeat, but as fuel.
Challenges will come, but I think you’ll find that successes outweigh your challenges every time.
Take time to celebrate and recognize your achievements, your progress, your growth. And cheer each other on along the way, building up others as you continue to drive your own growth.
Most importantly, bring your positive mental attitude to every situation. So much of life is being positive in the face of obstacles.
Above all else, I want you to believe in yourself because so many people believe in you. We are here, clapping as you begin, try, learn, fail, and begin again.
Keep going! We are cheering you on!
Liz DiLullo Brown, Little League Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing and Business Relationship Officer
