Both Little League and High School baseball are popular sports, and it may well be that your own kids are involved in these activities. If this is the case, are your kids able to hit the baseball as well as you think they should? Does it frustrate you when you know they could be doing better, but you are not sure how to show them yourself? 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. Watching other kids who do not center themselves correctly, will show you how they almost always get a bad hit at the ball. The ability to always stand in the correct position, is going to make a difference in every hit. You should always try this out when you are practising with your kids.
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. Parents don't usually want to keep seeing their kids strike out when batting. 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.
Take some time to consider how you might best be able to help them. 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.
The glory you might one day receive from watching your kids at the majors, is nothing compared to the confidence and happiness that they will enjoy, by being able to hit the baseball effectively. By not giving them the support they need to be good at the game, you run a serious risk of them choosing not to play at all.
