Got the not swinging problem fixed with my 8 year old but now she's just swinging and not keeping her eye on the ball. How can I help her fix this problem??
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.

QUOTE=batterslump;113359]My 8 year old is in her second year of softball, she does really well when we practice with her, hits the ball every time and hits it hard. However when...

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. :(
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...
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...
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...
