Base is So SO So GAY. That Is Why People Can Not Stay Awake.

Get a "Gameface". It is a protective mask which some pitchers and first and third basemen use. That should remove some of the fear, and then you can stop using it if you wish. Best thing, use a tennis ball, or "rag ball" and catch grounders and flies untill you are sick of it! This will get you tracking the ball better. The reason you get hit is simple, you didn't catch the ball! Practice that until it is natural, and the fear should go away. \n\nTo practice throwing, first learn to do it correctly, you'll need a coach to help there. Then, set a bucket on it's side on top of home plate, and start on the pitching rubber throwing into the bucket. Work back to second base, short center, then deep center. It won't help to make a few throws one day, you will need to make thousands all year long. Even the pros continually practice. That is the only way to improve.

Keep your eye on the ball. Young hitters when in the batter's box have tendencies to move their head on the swing. When you move your head, you take your eye off the ball, and usually miss it. Another reason for taking your eyes off the ball is fear the ball is going to hit you. Just keep your eyes on the ball, and your hitting will improve tenfolds.

well....Jeter is a yankee player so he sucks anyways, but to keep yourself from getting hurt all the time...the best possible solution i can come up with is to constantly stretch before every practice and game! But stretch thoroghly (i'm not really sure that i am spelling that right), but also don't over-stretch either.

If I can't sleep I either turn on a basketball or baseball game.  It cures my insomnia.  Both sports are so boring and I can't stand to watch either. Give me football or hockey any day!

One of my problems is that I'll be thinking about the things I need to do the next day or the week.  That makes me stay awake.  Get up drink some water and lay back down and try to just relax, don't think about going back to sleep - just relax.  If that don't work then count sheep, that does work.

Most likely a reaction to your unfamiliar environment. Could be in response to an animal, cleaning supplies, your mom's new perfume even. The sheets you slept in could have been washed in a detergent or fabric softner irritating to you. Your head and sinuses were in contact with them while you slept.\nAntibiotics WILL NOT help this problem. They are used for killing the bacteria that tend to grow in the dormant liquid that is clogging your inner ears and sinuses, but leave the liquid. Find the source.

Just keep reading all these questions and try to think of intelligent answers for as many of them as possible.  We are very slow at work right now and I was having the same problem.  Now, here I am and I'm awake.  Good luck!

i agree they have no clue. they are afraid to talk about waht is really going on in the match because they have pre picked favorites. not only that but the commentators they use have little experience in the big leagues and dont know alot of their stuff too well. if they could just comentate more like the mexicans or the brits they would make the game more exiting. the other thing is that they dont show any energy for the game and focus just on past numbers and not whats going on. last but not least they are affraid to speak their mind something that in england or mexico is quite common.

Dude, there is no technique to keep from rolling yer wrists, you just haveta concentrate on NOT doing it. Dont roll my wrists, dont roll my wrists, dont roll my wrists.. just concentrate on not doing it. If yer hands have space between them on the bat, that will contribute to rolling yer wrists, so get yer hands together on the bat if they arent already.

Oh my god yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm not into the NBA, and I just can't get into baseball anymore (which isn't hard when you're a Cubs fan,) at least not until later in the season. Arena League is ok if you want to go to a game, but I can't get into it like i do the NFL. I spent weeks getting excited over the friggin draft, for christs sake. I check the sports sites every day, knowing damn well nothing of any significance happened, but praying there will be something new. 11 weeks til pre-season...

I would suggest trying some glove conditioner to help soften the pocket.  You'll also need to play catch a lot, and try using a "glove sock" or some heavy rubber bands wrapped around the glove while keeping a baseball in the pocket when you're not using it.

hold the bat stem a little tighter and be more authorative wen you swing. batting gloves help absorb shock and prevent blistering. but you are being apprehensive at the plate. be more aggressive wen you decide to swing.

ok. first calm down. this is a very commen thing. like baseball players have slumps, so do basketball players. 1st play some bball on your own. pretend ppl are there but beat them. imagine yourself doing well. believe inyourself. also take this frustration as motivation show your couch and your coach you are dedicated and the you are a good player. Its all about 1 word RELENTLESS
