Week 2 Preperation for the Season

Week 2 of practice has been going well for our team and me.  As a Freshman I have noticed the hardships that one goes through when preparing for the season.  However, my teammates and I are starting to hit our stride.  This is a great thing because we are trying to have a very successful season.  Some of the hardships and trials I have been through consist of minor injuries and mental fatigue.  Coach says that you have to battle through those things and experiencing those trials and tribulations will make you stronger.  Coach also showed us a motivational clip from Will Smith.  It inspired us to be mentally tough and to never ever give up.  I will either die on the baseball field giving my best effort or the other team will quit playing before I ever give up.  One of our many goals is to be a team that never gives up.  With the season rapidly approaching I continue to mentally prepare myself.  I go through possible at bats against opposing pitchers.  I visualize our pitchers throwing me the ball.  If I visualize it now then it when it happens  in a game I'll be prepared and know what to do with the ball.  Check back next week as I will have played my first collegiate baseball game.
