My Softball History

I started softball when I was around 8 or 9. I played for a rec team in South Carolina, which is where I lived at the time. Since then, I have played for 5 or 6 years on different rec teams, including my school team when I was in 7th grade and plan on playing for the same team in 8th grade. I also currently play for Sting. My primary position is first base and my secondary is centerfield. I can also play shortstop, second, left field, and right field.

My Current Team(s)

I currently play for Sting B-14U team. I have a few out-of state tournaments including one coming up in Arizona, and one in July. I also play for my middle school softball team. The season for that team starts March 7th.

Goals

My main goal for softball is just to improve. No Pain, No Gain is something I believe in, so I push myself past my limits to improve. I train hard on days that I don't have pracice as well as when I do. I want to improve mainly on batting, since I am good at fielding already.

Things to Focus On

Skils that are important to softball are batting and defense. The first list focuses on batting and the second focuses on defensive tips. There are also a few first base and outfield tips.

One thing to keep in mind is don't be afraid. Don't be afraid of catching or hitting the ball. Don't be afraid of getting hit by the ball. The worst that can happen is a little pain and possibly you break something. Not bad. If you are batting and you get hit, that's a free base.
