When catching a softball?

you cant play softball if you cant catch a ball.

I've met girls who are scared of the ball yet they

want to play short stop where everything is

practically hit.---kind of glad they quit playing...

i didnt want to see a girl petrified of the ball was

gonna be hit to her, my final year of high school softball.

catching as a catcher.

is fun yet alot of work. you have to frame the ball.

block it if it goes down. picking off runners on the bases

keep an eye check on the runners and keep your pitcher in

stat-[ that means keep the mind in the game, and not wondering

about...keeping pitchers in check. with their inside, outside, high,

low or even wild pitches. and hitting batters.]

its fun because you can beat the crap outta the runner trying to take home

....well only when you have the ball.

you have to have a mental toughness to take in if the faults of the

blocked balls get passed and that causes the runner to go stealing.

...honestly i catching is the hardest job an athlete can have...

you have to see a ball going at 70 mph and catch it and frame it

so it is seen as a strike.

final point: when i played catcher...i loved it; alot of work and

alot of pain taken in. blocking that runner trying to steal home...

the fun times...i miss it sometimes. but now that I'm playing

center field...i keep on missing catching less.
