PRACTICE TIPS
Have you ever heard the saying, "Practice makes perfect?" Well, there's another saying that goes like this:

PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

• Think about it - if you practice a skill incorrectly over and over again, it is not going to improve your game. However, if you focus your practice on doing something perfectly, it may take you some time to perfect the skill, but eventually it will happen.
• When you are working on your footwork, concentrate on the movement. Make every step count. Your muscles will develop according to how you work them. So if you concentrate your energy on a certain movement, your muscles will learn to work most effectively on that movement.
• The same thing applies to hitting and fielding. If you concentrate on your motions as the bat is coming around in your swing or your arm comes around for the throw, your arms and legs will learn to always move in the correct position for being most quick and accurate.
• Take full advantage of practice time. This is the time to really focus on your game. Then when the game is really on, you won't have to concentrate quite so hard on proper technique. It will have become a habit for you

Perfect practice makes perfect!!!!
