He plays little league and travel ball. He will like to pitch, but the coaches have not giing him a chance. He can throw and he has great control. We ask the coach to gie him chance and nothing happen. I don't know what to think! My son feels unwanted sometimes, because he knows can help the team and they are not giving him the opportunity to do help. If you have any advice, I would appreciated very much. Hi,

He left his previous team because the coach was a yeller and screamer, so we found a better fit. He did great this past summer on the team, but has had a hard time re-grouping this fall. You might have something with him not wanting to let other down. Well, this is the first time he has played with this team in fall.

If so, I've seen this before where kids don't want to let down others or get punished by a certain coach. Is he on a different team in the fall with different coaches and players?

But my guess is that you are trying too hard in games and pressing instead of reacting to the ball and letting it happen. Justice:

So here's my story... Last season, my hitting had gone to hell and well... didn't come back. The season before that it had never been better. So obviously last season I would have mental problems all the time. I couldn't break out of the frustration and break out of my slump. This season so far, my hitting has gotten better, but still could use improvement. Every day i go out hitting with my uncle, and yes my bat has improved, but there are still those times, maybe 50% of the time, that my hitting will just not be there. I'll hit infield pop ups over and over and after maybe.... say 5 - 7 of those same hits I'll get pissed. I'll swear, but then right back in the box and focused again. He keeps telling me that i'm battling my last season in my head, but i don't see it. I go in with all the confidence I got, and don't think on the down side of my swing, I barely think at all! So My question is, is he right? could I be having a mental battle with my previous season subconsciously? Or could this be something else? Thanks for listening, Justice Hey everyone, I’m Justice, I’m 15, and I play triple a ball.

So here’s my story…

Its funny because I think alot on the field but once a ground ball comes my way I sorta just let go. On the other hand when I go up to hit most of the times I strike myself out with my lack of confidence. Any suggestions?

The captain should tell the coach that players fear making mistakes because they don't want to get yelled at. Do you have a team captain that can talk to the coach on the players’ behalf?
