Softball and Trying not to hit like at Girl

For the past 4 years all but last year because of the surgery, I have played in an interleague softball game.  Various churches organizations and businesses play in it you really don't win any money however you win trophies for first second and third place.  The first two years I played on a mixed matched competitive group comprised of various professionals who all had a previous college athletic background it was also an all male team.  The third year I joined a coed more fun league because the competitive players were treating the game like it was their job and while I am a competitive person I also have  a life.  The coed was competitive but people did take it serious enough so we often had to put teams together by adding at the end.  Last year I could not so this is my first season back playing after the surgery. 

Most players will tell you they want to win no matter what and I do to however I think I should have prepared myself for the changes that the boobs were going to do on me.  First I found that I used to be able to take a bouncing grounder to the chest now when I do I wish I hadn't.  Not only because it occasionally hurts but also when it bounces into my ground after hitting my chest it seems to bounce in any direction which is crazy. 

The second adjustment I am learning to make is swinging the bat, I did not think they were going to be in the way as much as, but I can guarantee you to that they are and they affect the way I swing a bat very much I used to be able to take a back learning stance and load up my back leg and launch the ball now not so much. 

I guess this is just one of the changes  I will have to get used to
