High School Baseball Team

Our Scott City high school baseball team hasn 't been good my whole high school career. We have lost more games in the last four years than any team I know of. My freshman year we only won one baseball game, sophomore year only won one game, junior year we won three games and this year we have won 3 games out of five that 's better than I thought we would do. I think a big part why we lose is because the coaches and the players who don 't try. My freshman and sophomore year we had coach Baker and he seemed to try to make us better we just couldn 't fix the problem. Last year and this year we have coach Dirks and coach Hughes. They don 't push us as hard as they should and they honestly don 't coach as good ask coach Baker did. That 's one …show more content…

None of the guys on varsity put in effort every day at practice like the coaches ask. I feel like if some of them actually tried we could be pretty good because we have all been playing together since t-ball and now we all know the game pretty well. I think that if we put as much effort as they do in basketball and football then we should be just as good as they are in those sports.
The coach’s effort to make the team better is really low. They don 't move people around in practice to see who should be where or to see if there is anyone who is better than someone. They wait until the game to move someone to third base who has never played third ever. They let parent’s coaches and tell them what to do instead of making their own decision. For example, our second baseball game we had a freshman who was benching varsity and he didn 't get in at all so his dad got mad about it and called coach and all of the sudden chase gets pulled out so that the …show more content…

If I was the coach, I could have several ways to try to win and change it up a little bit. Even though everyone normally knows where they are playing because they always play there, I would ask were they want to play and put them there for practice and see how they do and if they do good then maybe they will get to play there in a game it won 't hurt anything.
Right now the varsity and Junior variety split up for practice but I think we should stay together, if we stay together the coaches have a better opportunity to see who has the ability to play varsity or who can play where, to see who is good and bad. The coaches should push us harder at practice and maybe we can win more. The softball team went from easy practice to being pushed hard and now they win a lot of the games they

The change as a whole is a bad idea, but there are some good effects that the change can cause. The change will align kids with the peers that they will eventually find themselves playing high school baseball with (Eaton-Robb 1). The change will allow the players to build better chemistry with their peers and ultimately have fun with their friends. Little League puts the players first, but they think more of the fun aspect of the game and don’t really think about the extremely competitive players in the league. Now during the twelve and thirteen year old age, kids do most of their growing.

Teams that play timidly, lack confidence, and give forth no effort, will never reach their full potential. Softball teams that struggle with fixed mindsets will ultimately fail, but could thrive with a growth mindset. Softball teams that sit back and play timidly in the field will never be successful. One example is, if a third-baseman was to sit back and wait for the ball to

In 1845, some young fellows in Manhattan composed themselves into the Knickerbockers BaseBall Club and recorded the tenets of the diversion which they were playing. History of Baseball appears to be dependably to have lived more in myth that ever. Youngsters in England and the United States had been playing variations of the diversion for quite a long time, for example, one o ' feline, rounders, and base. Not until 1901 was the National League compelled to acknowledge the American League, the main other surviving real association. The surprising undefeatable season of the national visiting Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869 prepared for baseball 's all out professionalization in the 1876 development of the National League of Professional Base Ball Clubs.

378 Jump shots bouncing off the rim, passes to the wrong team, a silence where one could hear a penny drop, and the word “BASELINE” is what I remember from practice two days before the Highland Park game. We were playing live against the scout team, but we were playing them like they were the ‘95-’96 Chicago Bulls with Michael Jordan at the helm. After a few minutes of this nonsense, Coach McKendrick told our team to get on the baseline to run. However, it was not because we were playing poor. It was because our captains were not talking to our team and bringing more energy to our practice.

Growing up, I have had the opportunity to experience what life is like in a town where playing sports is the main form of entertainment and excitement. Due to sports being such a major asset of this small-scale town, shouldn’t it be organized and well put-together?

Within my own experiences, there were numerous flaws throughout the structure of the Yucca Valley youth basketball program. However, just because these complications exist, doesn’t mean they are unable to be amended in a way that can benefit the outcome of success that the youth basketball program is trying to achieve.

High school coaches should not be required to give equal playing time to all players who make the team. Kids in society have been handed things their entire life. There has been little to no sense of accomplishment after earning a spot or position on a team. Spots should be earned by being the best at what someone does, not for pitty and for moral victories to make them feel good. “In high school, kids should understand playing time is earned.

But my course in life has switched courses. Along the way, I dropped off the other sports and continued on with America’s Favorite Past time: Baseball. Since my size dictated my playing time, according to the coaches, it affected my devotion to the game because it is heartbreaking to be told you cannot do something.

Kids need competition, but not to much. When more pressure is put on from coaches during a game it makes the game two times more competitive.
