The title of Elizabeth Economon's book will be "Happy People Hit Better."
Will Wichita State third baseman Krystin Nelson be on the cover? Perhaps the first chapter? Acknowledgements? Definitely somewhere, thinks Economon.
"She is that person more than anybody I've ever coached," said Economon, Wichita State's associate head coach. "When she relaxes and when she is confident and is feeling good, she is great. And I remind her 'Hey, happy people hit better.'"
Nelson, a senior from La Porte, Texas, is on one of her happy stretches as the Shockers (26-22-1) enter the final week of the regular season.
