""I have to admit I don't know how my parents and my family watched me pitch for all those years. I guess that's why my mom always kept score and now I do too.""

He has guided her through valuable lessons about the mental aspects of softball, emphasizing the importance of focusing on one pitch at a time and controlling what can be controlled. Jeff, who has a rich history in baseball, finds it more challenging to watch his daughter pitch than to pitch himself, reflecting on the emotional experience of being a parent in sports.
