I guess you did not read or remember what I wrote in my first post and I think I repeated it a couple of times...

when I was lifting during the spring semester, my performance (sprinting speed and throwing power) was decreasing. Since june 7th when spring semester was over, I decided to stop lifting and see if my running speed and throwing power would come back..and it did. Therefore, it MUST HAVE been the weightraining that decreased my performance!

I probably had too much recovery time between activity and lifting, so the strength was not increasing right or something.

and I am really good at softball. used to be nervous, but not anymore. I play left center for all my slowpitch teams and I have made no errors yet and I have threw people out on the basepath for trying to gain an extra base because of my strong arm. Slowpitch also got me to stop being nervous, so I will be perfectly ready to tryout for my JC team in the fall. Nerves is what defiantly got me last year and hesitating because of it. The reason why playing on a slowpitch park league helped was because I had no pressure and there was no one competing with me for a spot on the team and starting spot. I was not confident at all last year and I am fully 100% confident now.
