Softball Everybody needs someone or something to lift them up at times. You either get better or worse each day because you never stay the same. Life tries to pull us down at every chance it gets but you can't let it. I've learned this all from softball. Softball is my favorite sport. I started playing it since i was just four. Of course when I was four it didn't mean much to me but I stuck with it. Now I am almost 16 years old and it's taught me so much. I know it is just a sport but when you…
I was playing my last game for the season for February 2015. Fortunately we – the Elephants won the game. I went to the basement, where everybody was gathered. All the basketball players got their pictures and after they got their upward basketballs. Then we got to eat a snack and everybody left. As I walked down the crumbled sidewalk, I started to dribble the ball that they gave me. “Stop dribbling the ball, you’re going to drop it in the road” demandingly said my Wendy who is my mom. But I…
Slow-pitch softball is a much safer and easier game to play. The players barely get any injuries. Some girls will be able to hit a ball at a slower speed much easier. Slow-pitch is very popular in recreational leagues throughout the United States. A different name for slowpitch is “Lob Ball” (Softball: Slow-Pitch). There are more players on the field that gives less space to cover. It’s well suited for age group competition (Softball: Slow-Pitch). The pitch is much more different and easier to…
There has been bruises, cuts, scrapes, tears, sprains and breaks but they’ve all been worth it. The five A.M. wake ups, the long, midnight drives home, and the early Sunday practices are all worth it. Worth feeling the rush of rounding third, ready to score or the feeling of the ball jumping off the bat. Throughout my twelve years of experience, I have made countless sacrifices for softball but they have all been worth it because of the way the game has influenced me as a person and my life…
To get Sam to change his attitude about changing his swing will be difficult since the swing feels good to him and he knows he can be successful with it. As a coach, we will have to relate his mind to a computer. We will have to work the new and improved swing into his short term memory or also known as working memory, which would eventually go to his long term memory. In the book, it says information can be kept in the working memory for about 20 seconds or less. However, the information can…
vender to bring him a hotdog to the dugout. My grandfather has thoroughly convinced me through stories and statistics that Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player ever. Both Sports Illustrated and Sporting news have named him the greatest baseball player of all time. On February 6, 1895, the state of Maryland would produce one of the greatest baseball players ever to live. George Herman Ruth Jr., one of eight kids, was a difficult child.…

Austin Davis has been a horrible person to be around since the beginning of training camp this summer. Things started out by asking me to quit because I’ll never get playing time, cursing at me, and now have escalated into him attacking my credibility with coaches. I have gone to coaches before asking for resolution, but nothing has happened. So what happened today (10/13/15) was that I said “I don’t understand why my coach starts a kid that loses his mind every 5 seconds” in a tweet, but I…
There are countless articles about the history of beer pong and it appears that everyone comes back to some particular fraternity or college. The modern day beer pong was invented in almost every small liberal arts college up and down the East Coast. To think, some college kids just considering entertaining themselves when it was subzero outside decided to invent a drinking game to play inside. What a groundbreaking invention! According to the “Book of Beer Pong”, which is the absolute source…
