    In a slump

    My daughter is also 8. We moved her up to live arm a year early and she would pound the ball in practice. Then in games she would freeze up. Now I have her swinging but she's not keeping her eye on the ball. I feel your pain.

    Great hitter in practice but not in games. HELP!!!

    I think it's a little of both. The live arm is new to her and she worries about me being disappointed in her. I told her not to worry about me, to do it for herself. We'll see how she does tomorrow night. She has 7 more games to get it together. I am praying she comes around. I want her to...

    I am the coach and yes I do move them around. The line up is different every game. We play tomorrow night and I told her she's batting last thinking that would give her some motivation to calm down and hit the ball. I have no clue if it will work. I'm just gonna give her the have fun, it's...

    Oh and yes, I know my stress is not helping her. My husband said it's up to her, you can't do it for her so when she decides to relax and hit the ball, she will. She went from 4th in my lineup to last. It's so sad. :(

    Great hitter in practice but not in games. HELP!!!

    You said it. It's EXACTLY that she's getting too wound up. I am constantly telling her to relax in the batters box. She is so tense. You can see it all over her. She has a "deer in the headlights look." I know I have been too hard on her until the last couple games. I let up on her b/c I...

    Great hitter in practice but not in games. HELP!!!

    No machine Yeah, she hasn't hit off a machine except once this year and that was before season, before we decided to move her up to live arm. Her timing is great. It's just all mental. She is a basket case when she gets in the batters box in a game. I know my stressing isn't helping her...

    Great hitter in practice but not in games. HELP!!!

    Please please help me help my daughter! My 8 year old daughter went from the top batting average in our pitching machine league last year to no hits in 9 games in live arm this year. In practice, she hits great but her mind is getting to her in the games. She swings at bad pitches and watches...
