1. I point to the right side
2. I pull back the right arm, and yell like a dying cow!
3. I point at F1, and yell, PLAY!
4. brush my fingers as I do when I eat to wipe off crumbs
5. I begin getting dressed once I arrive, without a partner, I still get dressed when I arrive, about 30 min.
6. I wear Oakley in the field, glare shield on my day mask. Yep, I have a day mask, and night mask does not have a shield.
7. I wear the Gerry Davis mask, I use my right hand-instinct.
8. I use 2 bags, it looks better and holds more balls, fewer delays. =====
9. I use what the coaches give me, I keep the changes, I also have the card for CR and such.
10. Just stay calm, relaxed and don't be to anxious behind the plate. When calling balls and strikes, when the F1 catches and you know it's a strike, say to yourself, "that is a strik." Then, yell, your strike sound. The same goes for balls. Remember, you have a partner, you don't have to do it all yourself.
Good luck
