In the 4 yrs that I coached a Girls Softball League team, (a story in itself how THAT happened) I put my daughter in left field… she hated it, but as she got older (she was 9yo when she started playing…) she realized that that was where she belonged… If she fielded the ball and just, will-nilly, threw it, It was liable to go anywhere, I coached her to take a few seconds to prepare her throw, by pointing her forward foot in the direction she needed to throw the ball.. She was the only one on the team who, if she took those few seconds to prepare, could throw that softball ALL the Way from left field to Home Plate, accurately!!! I will say this, it didn’t happen overnight, but by the end of the first year of playing, she got good and had pride in her skill…
This may lead to the time it did…
