SOFTBALL FEARS

ok you guys,
i have been drinking.

ASIDE FROM THIS: i am also now apparently pitching for my work softball league. this is a stressful responsibility and if anyone has been a softball pitcher before (slow pitch), please bestow your wisdom on me so that i might prosper and beat the other guy. a good sound beating. advice welcome. youtube videos of skillful pitching welcome. youtube videos generally welcome.


I AM AFRAID OF HITTING SOMEONE IN THE TUMMY
LIKE WITH A SOFTBALL
it's a bit scary. but i'm going to work hard. for victory. i spelled victory with an "s" the first four times i typed that, goodnight.

<3 <3 <3

IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE PERSON AIM FOR THE HEAD

IF YOU DON'T HATE THE PERSON AIM FOR THE UMPIRE'S HEAD

The only advice I ever got was: keep your fingers on the seams, and try to spin it out of your hand instead of just tossing it. Also follow through; don't stop moving your arm once the ball's out of your hand. ALSO ALSO VISUALIZE IT GOING PAST WHERE YOU WANT IT TO GO. Please keep in mind that I have not thrown a baseball since I was 12 though, and never for a legitimate team, and I was not very good at it anyway.

GOODNIGHT ♥

Follow through! See, this is good advice. I knew you were the correct people to turn to in my hour of sporting need.

I BET YOU WERE AWESOME.
