This past two months all we have been focusing on is hitting, we have practice every Sunday and we hit with our hitting coach Eve for an hour each. Our coach Eve used to be a top college pitcher now she teaches hitting and pitching to lot's of teams. Last season my overall batting average was just about 500 i had one of the best averages on the team and i was one of the bet hitters hitting in the 6 spot.This year i was in the 5 spot i was pretty happy i had moved up. But up until last weekend i had only hit 1 ball over two tourni's, i was in a slump and i was scared that I would lose my spot in the lineup. But last weekend i had finnally gotten a hit then another then another then another my batting average for the weekend was about 400. The highlight of my weekend was my double off the 200 fence it would have been a homerun but the fence was 13 feet high. So i think i finally might be out of my slump YAY! i might just have my swing and batting average back. It all came down to my coach believing in me, right before the game he said he had made some changes in the lineup i just knew he had moved me down. To my surpise he said he hadn't i asked "John why haven't i been moved down i'm doing pretty bad" he replied "because i believe in your ability and i need you were you are". I was pretty happy he hadn't moved me because i had worked hard to be were i was. So now i'm glad he said that because i think it gave me a lot of confidence. Now i'm praying that this slump is over!

Post a picture of yourself hitting a ball if you have one.
Thats really awsome Alex.I would be really proud of my self and even more proud that all you had to do was belive in your self and you did it! Are you going to do high school softball? I wish i could. I always thought my softball career would go on for a long time But i guess it's over now. I miss it a lot but I still play with my Dad. I bet you would be a good coach when we get older. I bet you already are!
