Try stretching your arm out for longer than usual. And also warm up slowly before you throw hard. This probably wont heal your arm but it should keep it from getting worse.

well....Jeter is a yankee player so he sucks anyways, but to keep yourself from getting hurt all the time...the best possible solution i can come up with is to constantly stretch before every practice and game! But stretch thoroghly (i'm not really sure that i am spelling that right), but also don't over-stretch either.

Get a "Gameface". It is a protective mask which some pitchers and first and third basemen use. That should remove some of the fear, and then you can stop using it if you wish. Best thing, use a tennis ball, or "rag ball" and catch grounders and flies untill you are sick of it! This will get you tracking the ball better. The reason you get hit is simple, you didn't catch the ball! Practice that until it is natural, and the fear should go away. \n\nTo practice throwing, first learn to do it correctly, you'll need a coach to help there. Then, set a bucket on it's side on top of home plate, and start on the pitching rubber throwing into the bucket. Work back to second base, short center, then deep center. It won't help to make a few throws one day, you will need to make thousands all year long. Even the pros continually practice. That is the only way to improve.

alright ur stance nothing matters stand however u want but before the pitch comes get into a hitting position so you are ready for a fast ball and so you can keep your hands back on a off speed pitch o ya and ur grib should be loose and ur knuckles should be lined up

Try to ice the affected area-add an ice pack and compressive bandage if you can to control swelling.Avoid heat (hot baths,hot water bottles,heat pads,heat cream etc.) for the first few days as this will make your injury worse.After the first few days you can start to use heat to help with the healing process,-try alternating between hot and cold compresses to speed up recovery. If the pain is significant, or if the symptoms do not steadily resolve, medical evaluation should be obtained.\nGet well soon.

try ice or heat and very little movement until muscle heals then do a little at a time until it is fully healed...

Like most recent athletic injuries, the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate) method of treatment, in the early stages, is most beneficial. Rest from the activity which caused the muscle strain allows for healing to occur. Immediately following the muscle strain, ice should be applied over the painful area for 10-15 min. Periodic icing (2-3 times per day) will help to control swelling and reduce pain. Heat should not be applied to the area during the first 3-4 days since this may increase swelling and bleeding within the muscle. An elastic wrap or compressive stocking may be applied to the area to assist with swelling control. If the compressive device causes increased discomfort or "pins and needles" in any part of your leg, its probably too tight. Lying down periodically with your leg elevated allows gravity to assist with your effort to control the swelling. \nThough some experts believe early stretching to be valuable, caution should be taken early on to avoid aggressive stretching (stretching beyond the point of mild discomfort) which may hinder healing. Gentle stretching and light resistive exercise during the first few days, will help to properly align the healing muscle tissue. Following exercise, the application of ice while maintaining a stretch, not only helps to control swelling, but also helps the muscle to maintain flexibility Within a pain-free range, walking, biking, and a chair/stool pull may be implemented during the first few days. Progress these exercises, using pain during or after activity as your guide, to running, sprinting, jumping, and full athletic competition. When beginning more advanced activities such as running, avoid quick starts and stops or other ballistic movements which can cause re-injury Remember to properly warm-up and stretch before participating in athletics, and then conclude with a good stretch The most effective stretching occurs when the muscle is warm from exercise and when the stretch is held for long duration (min 30 sec.).

I would start a physical therapy regimen.  However you may need to see an orthopedist to make sure you aren't injuried seriously.  you could have tendinitis or arthiritis if you have been playing for a long time.  If your tendons and bones are okay however you should be doing excersies in the gym to strengthen the area and working the area in question.  Make sure you are stretching before your activity and icing after you play.  I would buy ankle wraps so that you don't have to tape them up everytime.  Look into sports therapy and sports medicine websites, there you can get a list of excersises that will help your cause.  \n\nGood Luck!

Hey, you wouldn't be pitching if your coach didn't think you were good.  Being nervous is normal.  Just hang out with friends.  They can take your mind off of it.  You'll be fine, just throw it in the strike zone :)

ice it for 20 minutes if it's an injury. Do this once every hour.

play catch without moving your feet, that will help give you better arm strenght........

anywhere from a teaspoon to a tablespoon of vinegar with a glass of water to wash it down with afterwards.\n\nSeriously.  It'll hurt but wait and see, it will butn the soreness and the infection right out.  Vinegar is GREAT for you!

If your feeling pain, there are 2 major things you need to look at.\n1st: the ball you are using maybe a store brand with a hard cover instead of a good brand ball. If your under 12 make sure to use a tachikara light, if your over 12 use a soft touch by molten, they will take alot of the sting away.\n2: if your using a good ball already and you still have pain then chances are you are "attacking" the ball as it gets to you. You need to learn how to accept the ball as it comes to you. Your arms are the least used body part in volleyball. The arms should stay still and your legs and body are what moves. If your using your arms to push the ball to your taget then stinging will always be there.\nIf neither of these things help, I know some people who wear cut off socks on there arms during warm ups and non competitive games. It will soften the blow until you are playing correctly. \nThe right ball and body movements will take away all the pain, red marks might still be present as you are using your body to contact an object and move it in a new direction, but the pain should not be present!\nGood Luck the Coaching staff!\nPS: serving rule #1, never say I cannot serve, instead be confident that anyone can serve a ball. Again this comes from the legs more than arms. Proper footwork is nessecary unless your 6' 3" 200 lbs, then you can probaly just stand and hit it over. 2 things, body movemnt = momentum, momentum = power. Second thing the straighter the arm the better. Your arm is like a catpault the straighter you make it the easier it will be..

First, exercise your arm, especially by stretching.  Go light on the weights; a little is okay, but they're more for resiliency and muscle tone than getting speed.  Get good mechanics: good consistent release point, get your throwing side through, keep your elbow behind your hand, and snap your wrist on delivery.  Don't worry about being squared up to the plate on release; Bob Gibson wasn't, and he threw HARD.\n\nThen (gasp)... throw.  Throw your fastball.  As much as you can without getting tired or hurting yourself.  Once you know how to throw, that's the only thing to do.  And it's the only way to gain "muscle memory"- a phenomenon where your muscles tend to repeat their actions for you when you do a similar act over and over.  Throwing also gives your arm and shoulder stamina, which weights won't do.\n\nYou're 6-0, 140?  Put on weight.  Good muscle, not fat, and work your abs, quads, and lats.  Do a little bit (a little) on your biceps for strength.  Get to 180, if your frame can handle it.  Right now, you don't have the body mass behind you to throw all that hard... :)  Keep working...

Rest and moist heat is the recommended treatment. A towel soaked in water as hot as you can stand without burning will do. Also, a support brace or athletic tape will help when you are mobile. However, the activity that caused the problem, or any activity that puts undue strain on the injury should be avoided until the pain is relieved. Tylenol, Advil or Aspirin can be used to reduce the swelling and control the pain. Aspirin is good because it thins the blood increasing blood flow to the area. DO NOT take Aspirin if you are allergic to it. Only take what you really need for pain and swelling and do not exceed the daily dosage of whatever medication you choose. Also, IcyHot, BenGay, Mineral Ice are good to rub on it, but do not bandage tightly while using them. Medicated patches are also available.  Hope this has helped some. I had the same problem in my elbow for years. That's how I know.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

Practice! But also try light weight wrist weights while parcticing. Because of the added weight they make you throw harder. When you take them off, your pitches are harder and faster.

daily stretching, light weight workout, daily runing\nlay off the junk food, get plenty of sleep, find someone to take some pitches from you. start slow 25 or so build up your endurance, work on location of pitches and variance of speed.
