Press Release Summary = Baseball Tips for Kids and Parents

Press Release Body = 2/2/07 - Did you know that most kids don't know how to deal
with making errors - especially during a game when it feels like the pressure is
hotter than ever? But according to Kids Coach, David Kloser, author of "Stepping Up
to the Plate: Inspiring Interviews with Major Leaguers - 2nd Inning", helping kids
how to handle errors can be a real hit.

"Every season, kids even parents and coaches are faced with the same dilemma," said
David Kloser. "Youth baseball during the summer is supposed to be fun, but more
often than not it just turns out being frustrating."

To help out with the upcoming baseball season, Kloser suggests five simple things
kids can do when errors occur and make this season more enjoyable for kids, coaches
and parents.

1. Visualize the positive. Recreate in your mind how you would've liked the play to
go. For example: If you made a bad throw, in your mind, see the other player
successfully catching the ball you threw at chest level.
2. Erase the chalkboard in your mind. Smooth the dirt with your foot in a sweeping
motion in front of you as an act of wiping the play from your mind.
3. Take a breath. It can be tough, but know that errors are part of the game.
Players strike out, get hits and make errors. So breathe!
4. Copycat and model. How does Albert Pujols or Chase Utley act on the field when
they make an error? What would your favorite player say to himself if in the same
situation?
5. Focus on the solution. Ask yourself what you're going to do when the next ball is
hit to you?

These are just some of the tips David Kloser recommends. For more information, or to
