Nicknames, for some reason its easier for my brain to remember nicknames of players.
Word association perhaps,
FUN makes it stick!
Here's a couple fun little stories-
At a travel ball tryouts there was a player who had a bright greenish headband on and I started calling her
"Tennis ball" She ended up being a starting outfielder at Arizona. Jenna Keen.
At a catching clinic ,
was talking about nicknames with the girls and asking if any had one. A catcher asked how do you get a nickname?
I replied, its something that reflects part of who you are. Then one girl throws her hand up and said "I like bacon"
Hence became the nickname "Bacon".
Which i heard several years later at a tourny. It was her
My nickname "Turbo"
Reflects my energy on the field!
HOW ABOUT YOURS?
