Busy day... baseball tryouts and then a basketball game back-to-back!

So... today was tryout day for baseball. Unlike many of the other kids who have been working with coaches for the last month just for tryouts, we haven't thrown the ball since the end of last season. That's how we do it with every sport. A "hockey parent" I'm not ;-)

His first throw was on target but low, but he brought it up some and hit the first baseman on his numbers every throw after that.

I asked him afterwards if it made him nervous when that first ball went low and he said it did but he just corrected it afterwards and it went where he wanted it to.

He felt really good about his performance because usually he doesn't shine in tryouts (since we don't prepare for them). Since he's been on the all star team virtually every year the coaches all know him so truthfully even when he has a bad tryout it doesn't affect his draft because everyone knows his abilities.
