Here I am, a person who is only a few years older than many kids on this team. I somehow expect them to not only listen, but to respect and actually implement my advice into the sport of baseball. Luckily for me, I had the help of the spring Varsity coach to help me through the first practice because I was kind of nervous and not sure what to expect! I also had an assistant to help me with the Junior Acme team which took some of the pressures off as I had not done a practice on my own before.
During the first day we went through the basic practice to allow both the players and myself to get acclimated towards one another. We started with the typical "warm-up" period and the throwing program. After about fifteen minutes, we began batting practice. When I was a player, I thought this was the best part of practice as I got to show off the long ball a little bit. Now being on the opposite side, after throwing well over two hundred pitches over the course of multiple rounds to every player it is safe to say my shoulder was tired! As the end drew near for the first practice we did a quick pregame "In & Out" to make sure we are ready for the first game upcoming! It went decent but definitely has room for improvement. This could be an interesting season!
