What are they looking for????????????
How to Act/Dress for Success on the Field
Click here to review what many coaches are looking for when they come to see a player live and in person at a tournament
DRESS FOR SUCCESS
College coaches look at hundreds of prospects and only make offers to a few players. What can you do to stand out from the crowd? Dress Like a Pro: Be prepared before you step on the ball field. Make sure that your uniform and shoes are clean. Dress like a ball player. Leave the jewelry at home and please dont come to the ball park wearing your hat backwards! If you are thinking about attending a certain college, find out how players at that school wear the uniform and dress the same.
DO'S & DON'Ts
YOUR AUDITION BEGINS IN THE PARKING LOT
Believe it or not, some coaches will watch every move that you make once you reach the ball field. Your actions say a lot about your desire and love of the game. Your pre-game warm-up is critical. Go about it in a business-like manner. It is okay to smile and have fun, but avoid horseplay with your teammates.
PRE-GAME WARM-UP?
Show your skills in infield/outfield warm up. You may play an entire game and not get a single batted ball. Make sure that you are properly warmed-up and show your arm and body action during the pre-game routine.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I MAKE A MISTAKE DURING THE GAME
Personally, as a coach, I always want to watch a player make a mistake during a game so that I can see how she responds. Softball, especially hitting, is a game where you fail more than you succeed. If you cant control your emotions and recover from a mistake, you will never be successful. Coaches are looking for team players who can overcome failure.
DO'S & DON'TS OF THE GAME
* Do treat umpires and the opposition with respect.
* Dont talk with people in the stands during the game.
* Dont throw equipment.
* Do Hustle, (that means run on and off the field and run out routine ground balls).
* Dont give up, no matter how far your team is behind.
* Do pay attention to what is happening on the field when you are in the dugout.
* Do your share of housekeeping on the field and in the dugout, pick up bats, helmets etc.
* Do enjoy and the competition, it shows!
