Help testing Android app

Hello everyone!

I am hoping to recruit some help. I've developed a couple of apps targeted at softball coaches to help them keep track of useful stats during games. One of the apps is in the testing stage on the Google Play Store, and in order to release it to the public, it needs testing by at least 12 people over the course of 2 weeks. No catch, no data collected, no account required. All I need is for testers to have an Android device and a gmail address so I can add you as a tester, and to use the app and provide honest feedback. As a bonus, testers who stay in the test until the required time is complete and give me some useful feedback will be provided with a code to unlock all features once the app becomes public.

If you are interested, please send me a DM and I'll get you set up.

Thanks for your consideration!
Jeff

Am I just overthinking it?

I'm a former Juco softball player, and I've played shortstop my whole life. Before coming to college, all I would hear from my old coaches and family members is "There will always be someone better, it's your effort that gets you places."  Now this isn't my ego speaking, but I wouldn't really take that quote seriously till I actually got here and saw each girl practice.

This kind girl entered the "villa", and she too plays shortstop. She's an absolute beast at that position. Honestly I praise her, but seeing how good she is really made me question my confidence. Will I still get to play? What if? Overthinking every time the coach would try me short. Overthinking an easy play, doubting myself, lowering my self esteem. I never once was jealous of my teammate, I'm honestly so happy for her. In practice I try my absolute hardest just to be an inch as good as she is. Yet she still is better of course. I've seen myself grow as a person, pushing myself for something I want! But also seeing how i don't put her down just because I'm not a starter. She's my girl, one of my best friends in the team! She's the sweetest little lady ever! Any advice??
