First, practice makes perfect. You always need to practice because it will make you better at softball. Practice on the little things like make sure your foot work is good just the little things will make you great softball player. Second, you have to listen to the coaches because if you just listen to yourself and not listen to the coaches, you will not get any better. Only listen to the coaches, because your parents might be teaching you the wrong mechanics. Third, be kind to other teammates because you can make friends if you are kind and always be nice to the coaches' kid because if the coaches kids tell the coach that you were being mean and that might kick you off of the softball team. Lastly, never ever talk back to the coaches or give them attitude or excuses because that's a sign for the coaches to kick you off and if you ever cry, they will get mad at you so I suggest you suck it up and keep playing!
