Hi all! Here are the top five things I've learned from my first season in playing softball.
1. You will get hit by the ball. Numerous times. Maybe even in the face! It'll hurt, and while having bruises the size of a softball isn't fun, you'll survive. Probably. :P
2. Keep your eye on the ball! At all times! It doesn't matter if you are batting or catching, if you keep your eye on the ball you won't miss, I promise.
3. Swing with violence. (As long as you can keep your eye on the ball...) it's the surefire way to hit the ball hard. Just think of something that really ticks you off, and GET MEAN!
4. Don't be afraid of the ball. It's difficult, I know, but try not to be scared of the ball. This usually comes from practice, and being hit at least 25 times by the ball.
5. Love your teammates. There's no "I" in "team" (but there is in "win"! Haha!), so just stick with your teammates. United we stand, and divided we fall.
Until next time,
