ok. im going to say this best i can. i am a pitcher and i pitch for a tournament team. we are a b team currently and i have a tournament this weekend. at our last tournament, i pitched the first brackett game really well, only walked 3 or 4 people in 4 innings, and the umpire was retarded. haha. anyway, we were tied for a long time and then the 3rd baseman made three errors in a row and they scored twice on us, so we lost. & we should have won.
well i started at right field in our second brackett game and then the starting pitcher got tired after 2 innings, and came out, and our other pitcher came in and walked in three runs :o bad, i know. well i moved up to third and after she walked like her sixth person, our coach switched us, and i never got a chance to warm up. my mind was kind of not there, & i was tired, i had pitched the most out of all of our pitchers and i started throwing air-balls. like, really high ones. i got really upset about it, and then time ran out, and we were already losing and there wasnt really any damage left to do. this was a triple elimation tournament and we came back sunday and i didnt start because i had gotten a stomach virus at like 2:00 am and wasn\'t feeling good. we were getting pounded by this team and for whatever reason, my coach told me to go warm up, so i did. i was throwing really really good in warmups, popping the catchers glove and stuff, and when i went in to pitch, all i could think about was throwing air-balls, and thats what i did too. so my coach switched me with the left fielder. we lost, we went home.
anyway sorry the storys so long but its kind of needed to answer this question.
-- my question is: why did i throw all those air-balls. in practice, i pitch like an ace. i don\'t get it its kind of freaking me out. i\'m afraid i will pitch those tomarrow at the tournament and people will get mad.. is there anything i might be able to do? is it just because i was exhausted, sick, stressed about throwing air-balls, and all that? that\'s what everyone was saying.. but idk. my coach says she will always believe i am good, and that the only way she would give up on me is if i quit on myself and didnt stick it out. i always stick these things out so thats not a problem. my pitching coach thinks i could be something great. i mean i know it doesnt mean im a bad pitcher, it just means im a nervous one about tournaments, they are all new to me. it doesnt determine my future and it\'s about having fun.. but still i want some advvice.
sorry again its so long.
help pleaseee♥

Ok, you probably threw all the air-balls because you were tired and under pressure, then on sunday, you were still upset about the other day that you couldnt get it off your mind. You said the tournaments were new to you, so once you get used to them, you should be great, just like in practice. Before the games, relax and clear your mind and just go and have fun.
