Video of big hitters striking out
I am looking for video of confident, big hitters striking out. My DD has one of the best swings on the team and has been the best hitter in practice for a while, but when she gets to games, the confidence isn't there and she starts swinging for contact. She hates to swing and miss. Her role on...- bpb2004

Boosting a hitters confidence?

I think it helped her understand what it meant when we would...- bpb2004

Tryout Help
I see your delimma very clearly as we are in almost the exact same situation. One difference is she was ready to leave her team because of playing time. We are looking for a team that she can grow with and hopefully stay with for a while. Consistency is high on her priority list. Coaching is...- bpb2004

Choosing a travel team
We have been involved in travel ball for almost a year now and are searching for a team again. I don't know which direction to go and wanted to know what others experiences have been. My DD has a good swing and when she makes contact, she usually drives it pretty well. She is not as consistent...- bpb2004
