Name One...

My husband says he doesn't know how to hit. It's true, he is not a very good hitter.

Internal motivation (the drive) to realize his potentials.

Is this heaven?...

Chris...high fast balls

Corey...arm strength

GO NAVY!!!

...females

FO...

We learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp; some are dull; some are pretty;
some have weird names; all are different colors.
And they all have to learn to live in the same box.

...the dreaded "slump" which seems to happen once every year! You don't want to be at our house that time of season

Can I vote for D - All of the above?

Homework.... oh, you meant baseball... velocity.

Say Hey!

I'll have to go along w/ FO:

The Female Persuasion....one in particular. VERY distracting. Not to mention demainding.

My son had a lazy eye as a youngster.
We patched his left eye to strengthen the
vision in his right...He is a lefty batter, so his good eye faces the pitcher. His weakness is picking up the rotation/spin on the pitched ball...Has trouble with pitch recognition.

I'm wondering if you don't know what your son's weakenss is? or, if you don't think he has one?

I'm with Highlandermom on this one...our sons' teams will face each other during the season and we wouldn't want to give the opponent any advantage.

BTW, H-M, will you be coming to Norman for the series on March 5-7? I will be there and would love to meet you if you can make it!



Ann (alias Zippy B.)

During our recruiting process a coach ask our son what he thought his strength was and what his weakness was. He said his strength was his arm and his bat and his weakness was blocking the ball, that was a year ago.

Now I asked him about it and he says being a more aggressive hitter without base runners on, and he could always improve his foot speed that's my opinion.

One of his weaknesses sometimes turns into a strength....

He is very hard on himself and sees every fielding error or strike-out at the plate as a personal fault/failure to be eradicated.

What makes it a strength is a driving need to work on the problem over and over.

In some ways, it is self-defeating because, of course, he will make another error and he will strike-out again but in other ways it improves his game due to the amount of time and effort he puts in off the field.

Chill ...

Unfortunately for me, I know my son's weaknesses too well ... he has a few (though you might not know that from all my GLOWING reports on him) ... but I still can't bring myself to share them on a public forum. We face quite a few of our fellow posters this year ... OUBsbMom, matadordad, bbscout, to name a few.

OUBsbMom ...

Yes, my husband and I are planning to come to Norman for the series. Have sent you a PM ...

H-Mom,

I think every coach should ask a recruit that question!

H-Mom

I'm betting the advance scouting report has beat me to the punch...lol

My son is working on his footspeed right now. That is what he would say is his weakest link.
