The Unionville league is considered to be the best league for this game, and it represented the pinnacle of the sport. Although I don't usually idolize others, one of the most memorable moments of my time playing ball throughout the entire province was having the opportunity to spend one day each week with my teammates and opponents from this league.

| If we hold limiting beliefs such as "I can’t get a hit now” or “I doubt I could ever make that play,” we can unknowingly sabotage success. On the other hand, empowering beliefs like "I am capable of growing my game through disciplined hitting and smart defensive positioning " can unlock potential.

| There is no such animal as more important. You’re not likely to score if you don’t hit, and you’re not likely to get people out if you don’t flash the leather. You can't have two sides of the same coin without the other. That’s why this game is what it is - they are equally important.
Now…
If I have to be given a choice - if you come to me and say I’m going to provide you with great defence and mediocre hitters OR I’m going to give you great hitters and mediocre gloves, I’m likely to take the gloves. I can create offence with average hitters - I can coach them around the bases and do things. I can’t do anything if we don’t throw strikes and walk batters or give up a lot of hits because we can’t catch the ball. I’d rather score fewer runs offensively while shutting their team down than try to outscore a team because we can’t get outs.

| There are many examples of arguments like this. Still, defence wins championships (as opposed to offence) seems to be a commonly held and uncontroversial one that most people seem to think is far more accurate than it is. It may have been a legitimate argument in the past, but not in Slopitch today. I think singling out any one part of the game as an indicator of a championship team is so silly and reductive that it is rarely a valuable or valid argument.

| We worry about getting base hits but never give kudos. As you practice, you’ll become more comfortable with giving props. You’ll think on your feet and find opportunities to spread positivity. The more you do this, the more your teammates will trust that you mean the nice things you say.
And spreading positivity isn’t just about others. Being kind can improve your mood, confidence, and overall sense of well-being. It can also reduce your stress levels on an otherwise difficult day. Win or lose say thanks to the umpire.

| Praise always helps guys play better, some need to be told the hard truth about their performance also.

If you don’t like where you are hitting or fielding, do better.

| In 2019, I was plagued by the 'Yips'. Did not play during Covid.
For the last few years, I struggled with the crazy phenomenon.
How do I t overcome it, any suggestions.

| Getting rid of "yips".
All the suggestions are good ones. Throw as often as possible (tennis ball against the wall).
Throwing (same as hitting) is a memory learned/reflex.
The more you do it the more you will have control over your arm and throwing.

| You master the art of throwing when you master the art of living in the moment. Make every second count and give the world your best with no hesitation.

| You said the magic phrase. They don't love the game. My wife and I are 22 year old slo pitch players. You can tell who loves the game and who shows up for other reasons.
