Softball

There are many recreational activities and hobbies that most people take part of in their daily lives. Some activities include sports, such as softball, volleyball, soccer, swim, golf, baseball, football, basketball, and many more. There are many benefits of sports physically and mentally. I play softball for a travel team. We play all over the state and in other states, too. We practice a lot to get in shape for our next tournament. Sports benefit people in many ways. One way people benefit…

and two sisters. My brothers name is Alec and my sisters names are Hannah and Clarissa. Clarissa is the oldest one, then it's Hannah, Alec, then me. I'm the youngest in the family. Everyone in my family plays a sport, the girls in the family play softball because our mom and aunt played since they were little and carried it onto us. The boys in the family play football because our dad played for a while in middle school and high school. Football has carried into my brother and he turned out to…

first time in ten years. Softball has played a big part in my life and has shaped me as not just an athlete, but as a person. I have had the privilege of playing three sports each year and travel softball along with those sports. Softball has taught me that being apart of something bigger than myself is much more meaningful and has more of an impact on my life. Time management has played a big role in my academic standing and I would not have learned that without softball. I have learned…

experiment “See the Ball, Hit the Ball” conducted by Witt and Proffitt, the researchers experimented with people who enjoyed playing softball and measured their perception of the ball's size. In the process, they provided another example that applies to the action-specific theory of perception. The study’s purpose required people to evaluate the size of a softball to acquire a possible relationship between their personal performance on the field and the inferred size of the ball. Therefore, the…

To accurately assess our program and its success or lack-there-of, a number of evaluations will need to be completed. A formative evaluation will need to take place prior to implementing the program to evaluate the current nutrition habits of the softball team, specifically targeting their fast food or takeout intake, recovery nutrition habits, fat intake, and current nutritional knowledge to align with our program goals. We will do this through an anonymous survey to ensure the participants…

change a bit. Playing softball with MJBSA is a choice I wouldn’t want to change. I’ll admit there were times when I wished the umpires had a better understanding of the rules or the other team would tone down the drama but overall MJBSA and my coaches did a great job. Keeping in mind the past, I eagerly look forward to the future. Continuing my education by getting a degree is important to me because it will give me experience that I wouldn’t get otherwise. It is through softball that I saw my…

Having played softball for nine years, I have been through five coaches. I know what makes a good coach, and I know what doesn’t make a good coach. Your coach can be one of the most influential people in your life. You spend everyday after school and most weekends with your coach. Over the course of the season you form some sort of relationship with your coach. As a coach, it is their job to encourage you, support you, help you improve your skills, and push you to be a better athlete. When they…

football. Personally, I would choose to play softball. In softball, you can bond, work on coordination and it keeps you in shape. First off bonding is very important, if you can’t get along with your team then you'll never succeed. Bonding and getting to know your team and how they play is also important. Bonding brings your team closer together. When you get to know your team, you also know their playing style. Also, coordination is a important key in softball. Being coordinated is a major…

An activity I cherish the most is softball. This sport has been my favorite ever since I was three years old. Softball to me is a time to let my worries disappear. At the age of seven years old, I learned the rules of the game and began to play for Palmer Ball. My favorite position to play is to pitch or 3rd base. During this past year I have been pitching more, and my hitting has improved. In the spring I am joining the fastpitch team at school. I am a cheerful person, but also, I can become…

almost every day, I watch the latest Sports Center or replays of classic sporting events. However, during this time, I have come to appreciate a sport a lot more than I used to, and that is softball. Often during the summer, I can be seen in Webster, NY, watching my sister play softball for The Webster Xtreme Softball Organization. She has become a great player and has been ranked the number one player in the organization for the past couple of years. But, her accomplishments actually impacted…
