The Importance Of Becoming A Professional Baseball Player

My sister was really sick in her head, and she was a danger to herself and our family. I remember the cops being called sometimes when she got too out of hand. I can recall the threats she would shriek to my parents. She even spent over a year in a mental hospital. I had no idea how bad her condition was until I visited her in the hospital. It was a terrifying place with constant surveillance. Everyone looked depressed and trapped. The hospital looked like it was a prison. This really hit me like a wrecking ball, and I cried myself to sleep a lot of nights. In reality, I just lost some of my personality because of this experience. However, I always remember baseball being there for me. I loved getting on that field and freeing my mind from the current situation. That's when I realized that baseball helped me deal with adversity in real life as well as in the game. During eighth grade, I was back to my normal self. I was talking to friends and loving my life. From this experience, I am almost always exhilarated to be at the field playing baseball. This shows the possibilities of a bounce back in the game, but more importantly in real

I have been playing baseball my whole life, ever since I was three. I admire this game with all of my heart, and I will never give it up.

It was not until the age of 10 where my career really started to kick in and I did not take baseball for granted. It was a sport that I always liked to play. I always played every summer in a youth baseball league. It was a recreational league, but it is where I made some of my best friends. This league made it feel like we had no responsibilities and the social environment was one that I will never forget because being able to talk to others that understand what you mean is nice to have. When first starting that league my dad started coaching me up until I was eleven. Then he started taking the game to heart. We were still too young to fully understand that and he made a few kids cry and so the league banned him from coaching. So, my next year my grandpa took my dad’s spot and coached the team. There was always one rivalry we had. It was a team with almost all the older and best players in the league. Every year they went undefeated, except one. It was the finals game and it was a double

The life of a young baseball player is a very enjoyable one. Baseball has always been my favorite sport, it requires the highest amount of concentration and mental strength. Physical strength is also required to be able to hit and throw the ball; these are all skills required that apparently my freshman year of highschool I did not posses. I had always believed that I had the necessary skills to play baseball and play it well. However, tryouts my freshman year proved me wrong.

A saying i've kept to myself is to get back up when knocked down. This saying doesn’t just stand for getting up when literally knocked down but can keep a deeper meaning than what it says as for example being knocked down by a difficult obstacle to overcome and getting up to find a way to get past it and achieving it. Some people may not see this as something important but they don’t think about how getting up after knocked down can be something that can or would have been like a positive outcome into their life and how they are given two choices when knocked down which is to stay down or get back up and continue going forward.

My love for baseball started a long time ago when I was still a little kid, I Must have been six or seven years old. I could not have been younger than this, although I can vividly remember the experience as if it was yesterday. It was actually the very first time that my dad volunteered to take me to a real baseball game, he must have seen my love for baseball due to the fact that I loved playing catch when I was a young boy. From this observation he must have seen a future baseball player. He was also a baseball player, so baseball was not actually new to the family. I had the thought that I might have been a basketball star, however i enjoyed baseball too much and was much to short to be much good at basketball.

It was a very warm and tense place in the gymnasium of the Alpena High School. A group of freshman and sophomore baseball players were waiting for the words you wanted to hear which was “Congratulations” or the not so good news of “Sorry” from the coach deciding if you made the team. Personally, at the start of baseball tryouts I thought to myself it’s going to be a toss up to see if I would make the team having a 50/50 chance. I was nervous for the most part because there were an abundace of upperclassman also trying out for the team that were on it last year. There were twenty-seven people trying out for fifteen spots to play JV baseball.

I’ve been playing baseball since I was three years old! When I was about six or seven I fell in love with the most beautiful game on the planet. In school when I don't understand something mathematically or really any subject I try to relate it to baseball in any way, shape, or form because baseball is the thing I understand the most.

Playing baseball and soccer has been something that is ordinary. There is no nervousness or anxiety about playing, because I have been playing my whole life. There is something that comes with this. Some say that you must be born with it, but I believe that it is developed. That something is confidence.

When the subject of ends and means are discussed, most people could easily confuse the two to be the same. In fact, ends and means are two very separate and distinct subjects. First, one must establish a purpose/goal, which becomes the end. The means are the actions one takes to achieve the goal.

Six years ago I played my very first baseball game and I was the pitcher. Now you may think that when I was four I couldn't pitch. Well you were right I just played next to the pitching machine. Getting any baseball that came my way. Popfly, grounder, line drive, you name it I caught it. I was very good at baseball and I loved to play baseball.

Establishing teamwork on and off the field is a skill that of which I excel at. This past year we had teammates of all ages. We had 4 seniors, two of which did not get to play very often and sat the bench; I tried to keep them upbeat and positive even though they didn't get much playing time.

Baseball is a very good sport to get into, it is also a very active sport for exercise.There are a lot of people making a lot of money playing baseball also some people are lucky enough to play it as there job.There is so many things you can learn in baseball.

I've played baseball ever since I could remember, but somehow, at fourteen, I still wasn't very good at it.

From the time I was able to walk I wanted to be a professional baseball player. I always fantasized it being game seven of the world series, with my team down three runs, the bases loaded with two outs, and I was up to bat. Of course every single time I fantasized about this, which was a lot I might add, I knocked a 400 foot home run in the left field bleachers to win the world series. I played in numerous amounts of wiffle ball games with my brother, sister, and my dad in backyard even when I was only two years old and would run the bases backwards. By the way, my family is super competitive, so there were some intense games in my backyard. Baseball has been my love since day one. The word “ball” was even my first word. I have played in probably a billion baseball games in my life and I have not regretted one second of it. I have had an amazing career playing and I am truly blessed for the ability I have been given, but I know I will never actually be able to
