"A League of Their Own" makes me sad?

Unfortunately after college, the dreams you had for your athletic career kind of dwindle. I remember feeling really depressed about my lacrosse career in college. I had a great high school career, was MVP, coaches awards and all sorts of things. My college team wasn't the best. I only played for 2 years, even though i was the best on the team. It was hard for me to feel like positive and recognition for something other than lacrosse. What made me feel alot better about transitioning to being a "non-athlete" really was coaching. I ended up coaching a team of young girls and led them to a championship! It was greatly fulfilling and kind of made me feel better about my lacrosse dreams u kno?
