Use the inside of your foot, by your arch.  Practice practice practice! Also, if you just need more difficulty to ramp up your game, try doing what you normally do, but with a softball on concrete. Just be careful not to step on it and have it roll out from underneath you and knock you flat. It hurts, I should know.

as a freshman i totally understand where you are coming from, i've got swimming tryouts this week and we'll see what happens i guess. but back to you: okay sounds like you've just got nervous jitters. all that you need to do is practice. that and endurance running b/c i've never played basketball but i know enough to know that it's just one long game of suicide. just do some extra endurance training, train the way you've been training and just do your best because that's all that you can do. best of luck to you with basketball and i hope that you make the team!!

I have been playing softball for 9 years and my advice to you is... (1)get hitting lessons.  You can't learn how to play if you don't have face to face instruction by a recommended coach. (2)If you get a good enough trainer they can teach you fielding too which, like hitting, you need one on one training. (3)buy a book of ASA rules.  You need to be familiar with them before you play or you can cost your team a lot of money. (4)Finally, if your coach tells you to play a position that you don't normally play, go there anyway because normally a former player or a coaches favorite so you will not have much chance.Also do not make  a big deal about injuries or the coach will take you as not tough enough and you will either not make it or make a lower level team then you deserve.  If you are seeking more help read softball for dummies.  The title throws you off but it really is a good book to read and I think it can really help you.  Good Luck!!

This is what happens in my kids' school district! You should be going to some kind of orientation in the spring. You will learn what is expected and what middle school is like, there should a map given out and other information you will need. Then, at the end of summer, you are notified to come and pick up your schedule, P.E. clothes, and other stuff. You should be prepared to have to switch classes and dress out for physical education. Good Luck! If, you have anxiety or are worried, talk to your parents!

Every coach conducts tryouts differently, don't be worried though.  They usually want to see how you field the ball, the way you bat, how fast you are and if your a team player.  Just keep a positive attitude and don't get discouraged.  I'm sure you'll do fine.  Best of luck!

Your teacher will probably have you all sit down.  Then she will ask you your names.  The teacher will be real nice.  Just do what she says, and you'll really like school.  It will be fun.

Try persuading the ones in charge of your sports to allow girls to play "boy sports". If that fails, go to another school.

Wow.  You have everything?  Except the .05 for your grades.  Guess what, I got into college with lower than a 2.0 before.  You just need to talk to the teacher and say something like: I really want to go, but will I be able to even though I am .05 below the 8.0 grade scale?  I could boost this up if given the opportunity, but to prevent me from going because of a minor thing such as .05 which is not much compared to 1.0  which is not as close as 7.95 as it is exactly 8.0, so if you are as confused as me, would you consider a solution to this problem because I am so close to having an 8.0.  Do I have to go to summer school to improve that by .05 points in order to go?  Is there something I can do to ensure I can go?  Will I be allowed to go even if I do not meet 8.0?  And out of how many others have perfect scores and are allowed to go?  "Just because something or somebody tells you that you cannot, or you will not do this or that, then you must step up and say how come?  Why?  Then after they answer, do you easily give up?  No, you fight back with your words because you really want to go to L.A.  So, do as I have suggested, stay calm and collected and speak softly, but carry a big stick, that is your mouth, and the words that come out of your mouth shall stick to them faster if you go over it like a rational adult without arguing or complaining.  So, be brave, be courageous and when you are ready to speak, let your heart do the talking for you.  Believe it or not, I have always gotten farther with a positive attitude.  But this nation is so accustomed to complainers and whiners that they easily quit on what they really want to do.  No wonder we have psychology!  So, you really do know what to say now, don't you?  Remember the last time you got what you wanted without asking for it first?  Who hands out anything on a silver platter here?  I work hard and earn everything just like you.  So, having a physical disability didn't keep me from acheiving my goals or accomplishing my dreams.  But others who wouldn't allow me to do these did, and they got the wake up call when I spoke from my heart's content, that they were so touched they just had to give me what I wanted because God did the talking for me.  I am just a vessel He uses to get what He wants for me, believe this and you will not need to know what to say when He speaks through your mouth and out comes the words, and it makes you happy because you gained more bravery.  Or you can accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior since He died for your sins, man.  That we are brothers no matter what anyone else may say or do, and it is because God answered your question through me.  No one in their right mind can reject Him.  Hence the words: Right mind.  That means: Free from stress and disappointment in yourself, as well as others.  And I am not a preacher, yet I preach the message as it is universal understanding of getting from one point to another.  You have the help you require when you help yourself first.  Help yourself by speaking and verbalizing your concerns to the teacher, to the administration, to even the president of the United States, but who is going to listen unless you do something out of the ordinary.  Remember, you are like a stranger in a country of your own.  You speak the language differently now.  You should love yourself, so you may do what you really like, then you can use this to help others love themselves so the entire world will love one another, even their enemies and strangers they do not know.  This is the message and it has never changed.  Do you believe it?  Do you want it?  You have to want it more than going to L.A. in order to get to L.A. for those who trust in Jesus get what they need, and even what they want.  And those who do not, I tell you, are suffering needlessly.
