1.My goal is to improve my muscular strength so I will hit 10 homeruns over the fence this softball season. I will do this by doing anaerobic exercises and lifting weights, I will practice on my batting trainers, and by doing core stability training.
2.Last season with my first travel softball team I hit 3 homeruns over the fence (March 15th - August 21st). On the school softball team I hit 5 homeruns over the fence (Late March - Early May) because it was an easier team with easier pitchers and the people in the field didn’t have much practice. But on my travel team everything is more advanced so I need to become stronger to reach my goal. In total, last year I had 8 homeruns over the fence and this year I want to have hit 10 homeruns …show more content…
I need to improve my muscular strength, reaction time, and coordination. Muscular strength is the amount of power a muscle can produce. Increasing my muscular strength will make me stronger in my arms and legs making my body strong enough to hit the softball farther and harder. This will give me a better chance of hitting the ball over any fence. Doing anaerobic exercises and lifting weights, over time I will increase my muscular strength and strength to hit the ball over the fence. Reaction time is the time between you senses recognizing a stimulus and your body moving in response. I need to have a better reaction time to meet my goal because my body needs to react fast enough to make good contact with the softball at the right time. Making good contact is the key to hitting the ball far and fast because if the contact is bad then the ball can fumble and you can hit a pop up. By practicing on my batting machine I can practice adjusting to different speeds and having a better reaction time to different pitches. Coordination is the ability to combine at the same time, movements of various body parts. This is needed in completing my goal because hitting a softball takes many different movements of different body parts to hit the ball correctly. Without good coordination you can end up hurting yourself and you can lose a lot of strength. By practicing hitting my batting trainers I can practice balance and practice hitting correctly to make good contact. I will have to practicing moving different body parts at the same time. To be able to reach my goal I must increase my muscular strength, reaction time, and
