Try-out Nerves

This being my first post, I just want to tell everyone what a great web site this is. The information I’ve read has been invaluable. My problem, my son is a 14 year old freshman trying out for his high school team in a couple of weeks. He has a reputation of being a very good baseball player and I guess some of the upper classman have in good fun been giving him a little razzing about “seeing what he’s got”. He’s always been a confident kid, but I can see he’s getting a little case of the nerves as the date gets closer.

Just wondering if anyone else has seen this, and what was some of the things done to calm him down and get him to relax.

Best thing for him to do is relax and realize the coaches usually can see how a kid moves and throws and swings. Even if he doesn't get results, they will be able to tell whether he is a quality player or not.
