Florida Atlantic University Athletics
Owl Letters - Bobby Morgensen
4/17/2020 1:00:00 PM | Baseball
Collegiate athletics came to a halt in mid-March. With social distancing, remote work schedules and the inability to gather to cheer on our favorite teams, came a void. The void of seeing our favorite teams compete; the void of watching our favorite student-athletes grow and improve.
Florida Atlantic athletics recognizes that void and has seized the opportunity by providing an opportunity for fans to get to know the FAU athletes and coaches in a series called "Owl Letters." It is just one of the #WinningInParadise series that FAUSports.com will bring to you, our loyal fans.
Dear Baseball,
You have been a constant in my life for over 18 years now. You have shown me the way in many areas including teamwork, accountability, passion, and perseverance. Teamwork is what drives the game of baseball. Spending every day with my teammates is something that I will remember and cherish forever. Accountability is demanded by the game of baseball. The saying, 'Your team is only as good as the worst player,' is applicable to many aspects of life. Passion is the reason I continue to play. The game demands that you push your body to its limits. I have spent countless hours in the weight room and on the field and it has taught me that certain goals take time and passion to achieve them. Lastly, perseverance. The game of baseball has taught me that no matter how many times you fail, you must always persevere and work to get through it. Failure is part of baseball and part of life. It comes down to an individual's reaction to failure. Baseball has shown me that the best way to deal with failure is to learn from it for the future. Never get discouraged and never count yourself out.
Â
Thank you baseball,
Bobby Morgensen
