The Importance Of Baseball In Baseball

Baseball has a bunch of important factors that is necessary to be perfect before each and every game. Each week the high school baseball player goes to practice each day, working on fielding and hitting. After practice and before each game the player must also have the correct nutrients going into his body. The mental aspect is a critical part of getting ready before a game, many teams forget this part, but in Grandview’s baseball program it wasn’t left out. First thing’s first, show up to practice ready to learn and ready to give 100%, considering practice makes perfect. In Grandview’s baseball program, there’s a period before practice called the “+1” time. This period is to gain extra work, including a drill like bunting with a partner off to the side where you aren’t in anyone’s way. Another drill to do is hitting on a tee to perfect the mechanics of the swing down so this particular person can be ready for live hitting which means someone throws the ball, but slower to practice seeing a live ball. Someone can take ground balls before practice to receive some more reps. Another activity someone can do during “+1” time is to run extra sprints to prepare the body so it’s ready for practice. “+1” time, usually lasts about fifteen

The players make sure to ice their throwing arm (fifteen minutes on, fifteen minutes off). Icing the arm is key to help the muscles heal to full strength before they go out the next day and play. Eating healthy is critical for a player’s body. Do not eat junk food or fast food before a game. The players would consume food that wouldn’t make them feel terrible physically the next day. Players would also make sure to obtain a valuable amount of sleep, because they can’t come to the field being tired and worn out. The players need to feel at their best when they approach the field on game
