[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do I help my 10 Yr old overcome fear of the baseball from getting plunked by a pitch and from fielding groundballs?[/quote] Hit them with a ballš I kid but am half serious. Every kid is fearful of getting hit until they actually do, and then they realize the fear they have in their mind is far greater than the little bit of sting they received from the ball. I would advise against saying ādonāt be afraid of the ballā. Kids hyper focus on that word āafraidā and itās tough to get past that. Last but not least itās mostly confidence based so make them confident. Play lots of catch with a soft squishy ball and progressively add in harder balls. Before you know it they wonāt be flinching when a hard baseball comes their way.[/quote]
