Both Little League and High School baseball are popular sports, and it may well be that your own kids are involved in these activities. Is your child able to hit the baseball the way you think they should be able to? Does it frustrate you when you know they could be doing better, but you are not sure how to show them yourself? Do you really want to be able to show them how to make contact with the baseball more often?
Always remember to tell them the most important thing is to always keep an eye on the baseball. Although this has been said many times before, it is very important to understand that if you are not looking at the ball, you have very little chance of hitting the ball. Sometimes the noise on and off the field can be enough to draw the batters attention, and stop them looking for the ball. Talk to your kids about the need to watch the pitcher. Tell them too, not to be afraid of the ball coming towards them, nor be afraid of the pitcher, who will sometimes try to intimidate the batter.
Secondly your kids need to know that to hit the baseball more effectively, to stand well centered over the home plate. Sometimes allowing your kids to see other kids miss the ball because they are not centered properly, is enough to change their ways. Consistently hitting good ball is based largely on standing in the right place at the right time. You should always try this out when you are practising with your kids.
Wanting your kids to do better than they are, can make watching them play, frustrating and painful in some cases. Parents don't usually want to keep seeing their kids strike out when batting. Rather than put yourself through that emotion all the time, teach them to hit the ball better. One option would be to hire an expensive personal baseball trainer, but a better option would be to be the one to train your kids to hit better.
Take some time to consider how you might best be able to help them. It could be due to your actions now, and your training techniques, that you one day see your kids playing in the major leagues.
This pride and glory is not to be compared with the pure enjoyment of knowing that your kids can now hit the ball when and how they should, to achieve the results they want for their team. Allowing a situation to continue where they are not happy about being struck out when they play baseball, will only eventually reduce the amount of interest they have in the game.
