All Sports Are Hard Out Of Sports Practice

Thus is the nature of baseball, a fickle game wrought with tradition, the foremost of which is the iron clad law mandating that the game is cruel and will take away as freely as it gives. My father always told me, “Baseball is a game of errors - the best hitters fail seven out of ten times - the key to success is knowing how to deal with the failure.” It is this aspect of the game, its want to frustrate and demoralize the player, that I think has driven most of my

Baseball is america's pastime. It's the greatest sport ever created. In order to play you must be good with your muscle and brain. When getting into the later part of the game your body switches to cellular respiration. This is incredible. A game where you have to be mentally and physically strong.

Out of all the vast variety of sports there are, baseball is the most challenging and difficult sport to play. No other sport compares to the degree of difficulty that you have to deal with, like you do in playing the game of baseball. There are so many different elements that make this game the most difficult. Three major elements stick out in my mind as to why this wonderful sport is the toughest of all. The three main factors in my mind are the increased physical and hand eye coordination component, the mental aspect of this game, and the human interdependence between umpires, which are a vital part in every play.

All sports in some ways are difficult. No two sports are exactly the same with the same struggles. Playing baseball is the most difficult due to the physical and mental challenges that are performed by the athletes. Baseball is not a sport that any athlete can just pick up and play.

Baseball players have less than 0.40 seconds to defend themselves from a whirling 100 mph ball hit by a 200lbs beast. And take into consideration that if the fielder takes more than 4.5 seconds to field and throw the ball to first base, then it becomes impossible for them to throw the runner out. The motor, cognitive, and visual skills needed to succeed in baseball may explain why many believe baseball is harder than softball.

“Football is like life. It requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” -Vince Lombardi. Some people think that football can be a hard sport to play. Knowing the plays, and stances are all reason why football can be a hard sport to play.

     The steps of gradually becoming great do take some time, so every player must have patience. The player must start playing at a young age and be aware of the game. The player has to literally live the game, his mind is set on baseball the majority of the time. Up until a certain age, the player usually doesn’t take the game that too seriously. However, when the player gets older he has to make a decision whether he wants to be great or not. The player that wants to be great will practice everyday and become dedicated to it. Dedication and motivation are the two keys to being great, the player has to stay motivated to be the best. For instance, staying after practice to run or hit balls and then go home and hit more, that is pure love of the game. It is also important that the player goes to camps and clinics on his own, he can’t rely on the school to do it’s own recruiting. Just going to mandatory practices isn’t going to do the job because the player will have no edge on any other player. But the biggest edge of all, in my view, is motivation.

Since the age of four my father has trained me to be the best baseball player I can be. Every single day my dad would practice with me. He would make me do drills and plays until I got them right. Due to my father’s commitment of making me a great baseball player, we won three championships: two in Little

Baseball is a game of skill that is played with a hard ball and a bat between two teams of nine players each at a time on the playing field at once. Although many different people play Baseball all over the world it is most popular in the United States. It is so popular in fact, it is referred to as the national pastime of the United States because of the tradition and popularity associated with the game. Baseball consists of many complicated rules. It also has a very elaborate history. One can not fully understand the game America has grown to love until learning about not only the rules but also the history.

As the level of competition increases among children, they begin developing their skills at a younger age. Recruits attend camps, showcases, home run derbies, and receive private instruction. Continually, parents think they must spend thousands of dollars for their child to play on a highly competitive travel ball team. Consequently, colleges begin recruiting at an earlier age despite the substantial amount of growth and change that occurs during the teen years. Therefore, in today's world of softball, if a player has not verbally committed to a school by the time they are a sophomore in high school, numerous division one spots have been filled and they are most likely out of luck for a scholarship. This problem of children aged 13 through

Kids dream of playing in the big leagues, some even since they were 3 or 4 years old. Some people have been practicing for 16, 17, or 18 or more years straight, year round, just chasing a dream that might not even come true.

Let’s face it: most minor league baseball players’ end goal is to play for the majors. However, that is not their one and only goal. They also want to be one of the greats; they want to be remembered; they want to be in the hall of fame. Now, envision yourself as a newbie on a baseball team that no one really cares about.

I was a trainer for a little league team for a little over a year until we lost the championships and many kids left the team. I trained them well with the help of my coach, which recently passed away 2 years ago. We pushed them to the limits. Their endurance was astonishing for kids of age 8 and under. My coach and I showed them how to work as one, to respect one another and to connect during the game so they can come up with a method on how to score on the opposite team. We played over 20 games and without uncertainty, we won roughly 12 or 13 games continuously. Everything we did was to win the game and push ourselves to the limit to attain what we desired. The whole team got a medal for being runner-up, but most of us were dissatisfied with the effort we gave. Many kids that left the team either joined a different team which would be able to show them different skills and trainings on how to become better and the others that stayed, exercised as hard, determined as ever to win the next

Rhetorical Analysis After reading “10,000 Hours”, by Malcolm Gladwell, I see some flaws in the writing of his argument. At the beginning, he talks about it being obvious that there is such a thing as innate talent but by the end he disagrees with that. There is a difference between practicing and being born with talent and all he really covers is practicing and being great from the practicing. I believe there are two ways to be successful: practice and being born with talent.

Or maybe they want to come back next season as a stronger player. Encourage your child to continue developing their passion for the sport alongside their skills by enrolling them in a baseball clinic. They can continue working on the skills they were developing in the summer. They’ll be ready to hit the sandlot in the
