Do you have one of your kids playing High School baseball, or Little League? If this is the case, are your kids able to hit the baseball as well as you think they should? So if you think they could be doing much better at batting, are you sure of the right way to show them how to hit correctly? If they could be shown how to connect with the ball more often, would you be interested in showing them?
The first thing that they need to know and follow, is to always keep their eye on the ball. It may have been said and heard a thousand times before, but it is the single most important aspect of the game, if they want to hit the ball more. Being distracted from the ball is easy when you consider the noise that will often be heard at the field. Knowing what the pitcher is about to do is often a matter of making sure that your kids are always watching him or her. 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.
Making sure that your kids are centered well on the home plate is another way to ensure they get the best chance at hitting the baseball. Sometimes allowing your kids to see other kids miss the ball because they are not centered properly, is enough to change their ways. The ability to always stand in the correct position, is going to make a difference in every hit. When you and your kids are practising baseball; try this approach to see if it makes a big difference.
We all understand that it can be quite painful to continually watch your kid play baseball, knowing they can do a lot better, or when you want them to do better. Watching your kids continuously strike out at the plate is not an enjoyable thing for any parent. What you can do instead, is help them become better at hitting the ball. You could look at hiring a professional baseball coach, or you could teach your kids yourself.
It is a great start for you to understand how you can help your kids. There may come a day when your kids are playing at the World Series, and you can proudly say that you were at least partially responsible for getting them there.
Regardless of any potential glory though, you must want the best for your kids, so making sure that they are happy and confident in their sport, is one way to achieve that. The risk you run by not providing an environment where your kids can be happy playing baseball, is that they will lose interest in the game altogether.
