He'd say, picking up the glove and putting it on, walking only a short distance away. Realistic goals. "Alright, just throw it to me."

Once up, then down. Twice up, then down. Then, she turned and tried to mimic what she saw.

"You're stance is off. And you aren't moving your arm right. Make sure you are gripping it on the seams too." He'd hand her the ball and toss the glove to her feet before getting back into position. "Take your time." Back to Top   Mike Evelyn Cravens Mentor Intelligence The world forgetting by the world forgot. [send pm] Joined: November 2015 Gender: Posts: 1,705 Ain't That Mr Mister?

Leaning slightly, she took a deep breath and tried again, throwing it harder and faster than before.

Don't worry about strength or speed yet. Just work on getting the motion down. Accuracy." He said with a smile, giving it a soft underhanded throw back to her.

She took his advice to heart, focusing instead on copying his movement. She wasn't exactly strong, so even if she had the perfect form wouldn't do her much good.

Him only needing to lean to the side to catch the ball. "There you go. Just keep doing that until it's natural." He'd toss it back to her again.

Baseball would never be something she would excel at, but she was having fun. She even giggled a few times.
