>>> The 2-time World Champs, Fab
three plus one celebrate AAA Gold in St. George, Utah Oct.
18/02
Don't forget to Pledge your financial support!
>>> Sweeties,does
your homie have the right attitude and are you wondering what type of husband can
best serve the Marauders in their quest for Senior Slow Pitch Conquest? Is it through the honourable
profession of softball free agent or
mercenary?
Check it,
homies!
How do you recognize a MSPC team comrade? Learn
the secret sign that's sweeping the nation. No, really! The
secret sign has a double meaning, not just ..."two out"!
>>> Warning
You will note that throughout
our MSPC dossier, our staff have painstakingly collected
our organization's articles on
slow pitch; presenting them to you with the hopes that you
will be entertained by our satire on slow pitch. If you,
like most maple syrup guzzling Canajuns are swayed
by the rationality and logic of our upcoming tyranny
in softball. As you read the history & literature of MSPC,
we recommend the consumption of spiked maple syrup products,
or other wholesome fare. There is a lot of material to read,
and we would feel terrible if we knew any of you darlings
forgot to feed the sled dogs or faced starvation -- unable
to tear yourself away from the power and the glory that is:
MSPC. Be forewarned, sweeties!
The MSPC would like
to remind all citizens who are thinking of attempting our
clever plan of slow pitch empire building to sign up
at their local softball association for their free
shovel (for use of jargons when editing) and a free manure
truck for use of yokel attraction). As usual, all slow pitch
oriented activity is subsidized by our fair sponsors, so get
out there and get supporting!

Rick
Pimlot of North Vancouver is turning 50 in 2005 and has agreed to play
some tournaments with the Marauders , Rick brings a wealth of experieance
both here and on the International stage. Rick plays second base and
is expected to bring some much needed pop to the Marauder offense.
Gary Seedhouse is also expected to play
for the Marauder 50,s in 2005
On getting ready. One of the key's to getting ready is
concentration. What is it exactly? Concentration has often been
defined as "taking possession by the mind, in clear and vivid form, of
one out of several simultaneous possible trains of thought." Not by me
of course.
It implies and
trust me, requires withdrawal from some things in order to deal
effectively with others - especially batting and fielding. How many
times have we heard a player yell out at a fielder just at THE MOMENT of
making a catch or yelling out a negative during batting like "your due"?
To often I bet! Yet concentration lets you overcome these negative
distractions.
It's paradoxical
that our performance on virtually all tasks depends so much on our
ability to concentrate - to focus on the right thing at the right time
and at the same time stay positive for positive results - yet the very
act of concentration is often volatile and very fragile. Sometimes it
takes only the slightest distraction to bring performance down from the
exceptional to the sub-standard.
When you're in the
batter's box, there can be a number of distractions around you:
-- Your team-mates
shouting encouragement.
-- The opposition shouting, etc.
-- The
catcher trying to "wind you up".
-- The pitcher.
-- The man
walking his dog through the outfield.
-- The girls with the...
--
Negative thoughts about your own abilities.
-- Tactical decisions,
such as where you want to hit the ball.
The ideal scenario
would be for you to block out all of those distractions and focus on the
right thing at the right time: Like the ball as it leaves the pitcher's
hand...watch it...head down...focus...bam!
I like to have a couple of beer before a game. It helps me relax and
helps me visualize swinging the bat and seeing the pitch being made.
Visualize the ball coming middle / middle and seeing the bat making
contact then seeing the ball blow by the 3rd baseman, right up the 5.5
hole. It works...for me! Now not everyone needs a beer or two but the
point I'm trying to make is you need to relax & focus. --Try it!
