IMPACT STORIES:

Julia, Pacifica HS | Oaxnard, CA

One of our main pitchers, 16-year-old Julia, had a glove that was quite worn out and often had to borrow gloves from other players. With the donation from PIFBS, Julia was gifted a glove of her own. Just having a glove that was the right size that she could keep as her own, really boosted her confidence and morale. Julia began to feel much more comfortable on and off the field. With her newfound confidence, she started playing significantly better. Her improved performance boosted the morale of the entire team, reminding everyone of the importance of having equipment that you can call your own.

Adam, Sullivan HS | Sullivan, IN

The donation of a high-quality outfielder's glove and full gear could not have come at a better time for Adam as he was making this transition. Having proper equipment boosted his confidence tremendously. Feeling confident in his glove made him more aggressive in the outfield going after hard hit balls. The new bat, cleats and other gear allowed him to perform at his best. Adam's combination of tremendous work ethic, coachability and athletic talent enabled him to develop at a remarkable pace this season. Getting equipped with quality baseball gear was the final piece that allowed this once shy, doubtful player to truly come into his own on the field.
