How to Hit a Fast pitch softball!
I. Quick Hands
Quick hands play a big part in this game as well. How fast your hands are determine how far and how hard the ball comes off the bat. sometimes in fastpitch its not about how strong you are but about how quick your hands react to the ball. No, every time you hit the ball its not going to go where you want it to . Sometimes it may go straight up, May even go straight down. on a normal level if you have quick hands your going to be trouble for your opponent!
A. Must have good bat speed
B. Strong hands
II. Good Eye Contact
Having good eye contact is very important in fast pitch softball. The most important part is having your eye on the ball whenever it is released. If not, you could possibly miss the entire ball. Which is normal in fast pitch. Also when i say good eye contact its more of having the proper equipment like glasses or contacts. With these you may be better than you think! :)
A. Watch the Release of the pitcher and the ball very well.
B. Proper visual equipment such as glasses or contacts
III. Equipment
We all know you can't play a softball without Bats, balls, field, glove, and of course cleats. Cleats to keep you from falling, bats so we can hit of course, balls, and gloves for catching. Without these things the game isnt possible.
A. Bats,balls, batting glove, and cleats
B. Softball Field
IV. Opponent
There are three legit people in this game that you have to take on . First off its the pitcher and catcher. These two people are going to be shaping you up from the time your in the batters box to see how you swing, where you stand, and what makes you hesitate. As a hitter you also have to take on your mind. This may seem strange but fast pitch is a mind game that everyone can't play. Have to have positive thoughts and play your mind and your opponents at all times.
A. Pitcher and Catcher
B. Your Mind
V. Motivation
Motivation is a big part in every ones life. I know we all have motivators in our life whether its our mom, dad, or grandma. Softball is the same way. We have our team and families behind us to cheer us on. On the other hand if you don't step onto the field with the ora or mind of a winner , who is going to believe you? So self motivation is a big deal!
A. Crowd and Team
B. Self Motivation
The concept web is very detailed.
