What If I Were Playing Softball
One thing that I have tried that was new was softball. I started playing softball 7 years ago. I really liked playing softball because it is really fun. And it always gave me something to do on the weekends, it was either tournaments or practice.
When I was playing I always felt like giving up. When we would always learn something new and it was hard for me I always felt like giving up. When we went for pitching machine, to a girl pitching it to us it was hard because it was a lot faster that the pitching machine. One thing that was hard for me was when we moved to live arm I wanted to be a pitcher, which I am now it was hard for me to learn all the new pitches and I always wanted to give up but I had to persevere.

    Comparison Of Baseball And Softball

Baseballs are white ball with red stitching, and have a circumference of nine inches. Softballs are yellow and have a circumference of twelve inches. Another contrasting detail is the pitching style. Baseball pitching is usually overhand or sidearm, while softball pitching must be done underhand. Nevertheless the major league pitching speeds exceed over ninety miles an hour in baseball, while fastpitch softball can be from sixty to seventy miles an hour. Not only are the pitching styles are different, but you can also notice a difference in how both softball and baseball players approach a pitch. When hitting a…

    Personal Narrative: Zack Lingard

    I only had school every Monday and Tuesday because my mom was so busy and needed to work. When she came home from work she was so tired she would fall asleep. I would worry about not learning stuff but my mom would always tell me that the only thing i needed to learn was street smarts, which is all I need for living in Chicago. The only thing that kept me human was baseball when my dad left, it was there for me when I was sad, I would walk four miles every day just so I could go to batting practice. My mom is wonderful and takes me to every baseball game even though we don’t have much money, we always save up so I can play in the best division possible. I had people come up to me and tell me I could be the next big thing in baseball, but I do it for my mom, she helps me with everything from batting to pitching and she is the best coach you could ask for. My mom gives me strength to not quit and she makes me believe I can do anything. Today is the day, tryouts are always tough but I was gonna try my best and that is all I could do. The first drill was batting we had to hit into the left, right and middle over the fence that was 300 feet away. The first up batting was Jeremy he didn't get it over on any of them, the next guy John didn't get any either. One by one none of them got it over. I heard them call my name, “Zach Lingard, you are up next after Ron Harper”. Ron is the best guy I have ever seen at baseball at my age, and he only got it over one part of the fence, the left side of the fence. The coach called my name, it was my turn. I was terrified, not one of them got it over except for Ron and he only got one over the fence, here goes nothing, the first one on the left side the coach throws me a fast slider down low and I crush it right over the fence, my…

    Personal Narrative: Blackfoot Bronco's Athletics

    My accomplishments in softball were second team third baseman for my freshman and sophomore year and my junior year I got the first team utility player. I have got voted team captain in softball. In softball we had two coach changes, out first coach was Mr. Chavez and the coach currently is Mr. Torgeson. These two men have different coaching methods and it was very hard to adjust. Chavez was all about the hitting and Torg was all about bunting. There overall look at how the game is played are completely different from each other. Therefore when he had a coaching change it was a big shock for me. As a freshman, I played on the varsity team and I really loved getting to have that experience. I loved playing softball and I have played since I was about 5. In Softball I seem to always hurt myself, I have hip problems and I just recently had surgery on my wrist because of softball. Therefore I learned that you need to take care of yourself and work out to keep everything attached. You also need to practice hard to succeed because in my opinion, I think hitting a softball is super hard and you need lots of practice succeed. Softball is a great example of you will fail first before you succeed because in softball there is three strikes and you might not hit the first pitch but you can hit the next one. Therefore batting in softball you might fail first before he succeed. “Never let the fear of striking out get in your…

    How Baseball Influenced Me

    As a child, I grew up carrying a baseball glove and a pearly white baseball wherever I went, hoping for the chance of finding a partner to play catch with. The game of baseball was never just a game for me; it was a lifestyle that I had fallen in love with. With that being said, the fundamentals of baseball had no immediate effect on me as a kid. However, as I have matured along with my love for baseball, I believe that the game my life has been centered around for nearly twelve years has shaped me into the person I am today.…

    How Did Baseball Changed My Life

    I continued inspiring every one of the players and I continued saying, "We are not going to lose this game." I think they heard me exceptionally well in light of the fact that our bats were really hitting. We went ahead to score three runs that inning and we led the game. Unfortunately for us, they got an opportunity to bat. I was still in the game and I had tossed around one hundred and thirty pitches which is a considerable measure for a pitcher. Generally coaches take out their pitchers when they hit the one hundred pitch check. I was prepared to leave the hole and onto the field when Coach Clark snatched me and stated, "I'm sorry yet I need to remove you from the game. You have pitched a great number of pitches and I don't need you to get hurt." I took a look at him with passion and stated, "This game is there for me to complete regardless. If I give up one hit or one ball, you can remove me from the game. I won't let you down!" He took a look at my teammates for approval and they knew I needed this with my entire existence so they gave me the "alright" to pitch and coach let me backpedal on the field. By then, I couldn't feel my shoulder however he didn't realize that. When I got onto the hill, my body got an adrenaline rush and that blended with outrage. I looked each player's eyes and all I saw was fear. From the main pitch on, I felt nothing in my shoulder except for that didn't…

    What Does Softball Mean To Me Essay

    I started playing softball in fifth grade,and I loved it all with a burning passion; however I quit my senior year. It was stressful mentally, physically, and emotionally. It began to take a real toll on me. I have the body of a ninety year old as it is, and all of the endless drills were not doing my body any justice. The late nights of coming home after a game and having to eat, shower, and do homework made me extremely tired the next day. Yes, it’s a part of it, but it’s not something I wanted to continue doing.…

    Before I was first playing baseball I wasn’t very good and didn’t understand it, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. I played t-ball and parent pitch and it was very fun, I could never really hit, but I could field pretty well, and I was always better than my peers. My parents loved baseball and were always very encouraging of how I played baseball, and how bad I was. Once I turned an unassisted triple play, Which means that I got 3 outs all by myself, In the same play to end the inning. Until kid pitch i didn't know the game of baseball. I would constantly get hit by pitches cause I was a left handed batter, and pitchers at that age couldn’t throw me any strikes and would constantly walk me. Any time I got a pitch to hit I would hit pretty far and get a double or a triple.…
