Why is softball considered a gay sport?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 22:14:54 +0000

People think softball players are gay we aren’t because Im pretty much in love with Scotty Mccreery and I’m a girl and why is it considered a gay sport is it because I think they are jealous of our ability to throw pitches over 50 mph when most people can barely get up to 10 or like why do they think that ?? What do you think ??

Well I don’t know, nor do I care, who Scotty Mccreery is, but I didn’t know the sport you played determined your sexual orientation.

What do I need too know to be a shoe in for my freshmen highschool softball team ?

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:21:43 +0000

Here’s the deal, I hate physical education & my brother has showed me this amazing sport called "softball" :0 & basically, one of my friends have showed me the basics, I know how your supposed too throw, catch, slide, & hit. But am I missing somthing ? I know, if I don’t make it tough nuts. But, all i’m asking for are some pointers, all comments are appreciated, thank’s !

ive played ball since i was 8, (i am now 21) and im fortunate enough to play college ball… i would suggest just practicing… go out with you brother and play catch, hit, field ground balls, and get involved with a club/team try out for your school team… its also a good way to meet new people and make new friends… you can learn alot about the rules by wathcing college softball games and even baseball…. i hope you do well at your try-outs! let us know how it goes!

What sport would be best for me?

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 08:21:57 +0000

I play basketball, volleyball, softball, track, and cross country. My favorites are basketball, and maybe volleyball. I love playing all of them, but i also really enjoy football (just backyard with some guy friends or siblings, im a girl by the way) and I think soccer would be fun. I like the strength and intensity of softball, i love to run, and idk why i love football, basketball, and volleyball, but they are my favorites? can you think of any other sports i would like or if i should play soccer? thanks in advance!

Proper football (soccer). It’s the best!

What are my chances….?

of getting into Wake Forest?

At the moment I am a sophomore, and I really really like Wake.

My current resume is:

3.9 GPA (non-weighted)
Sport (softball, so far only JV)
Community Service (over 100 hours so far)
Spanish Club
School newspaper (which is 5th in the nation)
1740 PSAT (I took it freshman year… I intend on getting a MUCH better score on the SAT when I take it)

In the next few years I intend on taking 9 AP classes, and receiving at least a B or better in all of them. I also plan on getting a 1900-2000 on the SAT. By senior year I will likely have an editorship on my newspaper and become president of the Spanish club for leadership, and make varsity softball (though I don’t intend on playing the sport in college.) I’m also a very good writer, so I plan on writing a great essay.

I know I’m thinking about college sort of early, but I’m a big planner. If you can help me out with any words of advice or an honest opinion on my chances that would be great, thanks!

Wake Forest is a very difficult school for admission, but you are doing very well at this point. Keep ot up and you have a chance for Wake Forest./

I’m a girl and want to start boxing… BUUUT?

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 06:56:16 +0000

Im 15 almost 16, i want to start boxing. I am SO out of shape though. I want to know how I can start. And will i like die with the work out? lol. I only play one sport.. Softball. And thats really all ive ever played… and i started last year… How do i do this? and is it hard? please help!

Hi there,

Here to help, so here it goes…

Monday: 3-5 mile jog.
Tuesday: Upper body work – Weights, push ups, arm endurance.
Wednesday: Half mile swim, build to mile. (64 Lengths of 25M Pool = 1 mile)
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Legs, core/abs – Dips(Squats), crunches, leg lifts, Flexability, endurance etc..
Saturday: Sprints – 30m sprint – 60m Jog, repeat about 10-12 times and build to 16.
Sunday: Rest

Work on building all your attributes and research exercises online.. don’t expect to build muscle from press ups or dips etc.. Research online.

Follow the program for 6-8 weeks before starting classes, learn more about boxing and purchase equipment if you wish.

Once you join.. talk to your trainer about how you can improve your boxing and fitness,
A boxer typically trains on:
Muscle Fibers – Repetitive actions such as straight punches for round after round.
Power Training – Throwing huge shots on the bag, Jumping up steps, Fast weight training.. All in short bursts with little oxygen.
Endurance – Banging out press up to burpee to sprints.. Teaching their bodies to keep going, going, going!
Fitness – Training in short bursts, having time to recover as best as possible and go again, e.g Sprints.
Conditioning – Taking shots/medicine balls to the body and preparing your body for punishment.
Co-ordination – Skipping and footwork, even when your knackered they gotta bang it out.
Cardio – Plenty of it, running and swimming and more.. Improving your heart and body efficiency.
Over conditioning – Training 13 rounds before a 12 round fight, punching with weights and survival sparing..

It is hard going in a class… Join and train with a friend.. this will give you a bit of a competitive edge and raise your confidence.

I want to start a new unique sport?

admin — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 06:33:57 +0000

I am 15 and i want to start a whole new and unique sport. I swam for 10 years but i am not flexible. I cant even touch my toes. i don’t want to do a regular sport like tennis, softball, basketball, soccer, or volleyball. I would love to do something like gymnastics or rhythmic gymnastics. i really love watching rhythmic gymnastics and i think it is a really beautiful sport. But i am afraid that i am too old and not the right body type: not flexible, short, but 115 pounds. im not skinny but i only weigh 115 pounds but i would like to start a sport that is good for me physically and mentally. I would like to become more flexible and i would like to be able to have nice physique. oh, and i don’t have the best posture either. But i REALLY want to try out something new.

Fencing is great for posture, it also really improves your reflexes and endurance
It has actually been proven to make you a better problem solver too

What level of colleges should I look at?

admin — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 09:46:01 +0000

At the moment I am a sophomore, and I just wanted some opinions on what level of colleges I can get into. I’m looking at Wake Forest or University of Richmond type colleges right now, and I want to know if they’re realistic (especially Wake). I might also apply to UVA as a long shot, but I doubt I’d get in.

My current resume is:

I know I’m thinking about college sort of early, but I’m a big planner. If you can help me out with any words of advice or an honest opinion that would be great, thanks!
.50 BMG: haha true! but at this point i’m just trying to get into these places, and i’ll worry about the money later
