I am 13 and im trying out for my school softball team in about a month or 2. softball is really big in my life. i play rec, travel team (going to NC this summer and i live in NJ) and last year i was on the school team. My friends all say im good, and i know i am but it's a different coach this year. the coach also is the soccer coach and during tryouts she only looks at the "skinny" kids and i'm not skinny at all [doesnt bother me tooooo much]. im a pitcher and im learning my 4th pitch soon. how can i calm my self down since im so nervous? im even having dreams tht i dont make the team!!! HELLP

If your only 13 and already throw three pitches well and will soon be learning the fourth you'll be fine just try to take a deep breath before you throw and let your natural talent (because you obviously have some) take over. Good Luck and Relax!!!! You'll be fine.

From the sounds of it you have nothing to worry about. Skinnier girls for soccer might have some relation to speed, but if you are a travel team pitcher (and no one else in your school is) you are a shoe in.... even if there is a better pitcher they will still need you. Don't let the nervousness bother you, stay confident in yourself and you will woop some butt at tryouts ; )

How do you know she only looks at the skinny kids? In softball weight doesn't matter much anyways. Just pitch well and you should make the team.

Get your head right - as you need to to be successful on the field anyway - and you'll do fine. Sounds like you're a year round softballer. As we all know, success on the field is determined way before the first game or tryout. Keep working and you'll do fine.

Tell your self your confident, and keep up your hope. I am a theatre freak, and even though I've been going to tryouts since I was 6 years old, I still get nervous. what i do is i have this little pre tryout ritual i go through to calm me down, and keep my confidence up. I also think about how i've never been turned down for my auditions, and always do my very best. It's impossible to lose if you keep your spirits up, and your confidence higher!

If you are a decent pitcher, no worries. Good pitching is hard to find. As long as you are good, looks don't matter. :)

well if you are as good of a pitcher as you say that you are then you will make the team as good pitchers are harder to come by then good hitters

Bigger might be better at hitting the ball. Look at Pete Rose
