One small skill. One game. One thing to remember.

About 10–15 minutesParent or coach supported
Topic

Mental Foundation

Count good choices today even when the ball is missed. Work slowly first, then try the small game. A parent or coach can help.

Why it matters

The reason

Effort and choices can improve even when the result varies.

What to remember

One cue

Good decision.

Practice notes

Keep it simple

  • Good decision.
  • Practice in a safe space with an adult and stop if form fades.
Takeaway

Keep this

Today I can practice process vs. result with control.

Exit ticket

Before you go

Show or explain the best choice you made today. What will you try next time?

Progress check

Ask after practice

Tell your adult: What went well? What will you try next time?

Today’s skill game

Ten-chance skill game

Count good choices today even when the ball is missed. Try up to ten comfortable chances. Give yourself a point for each focused try or smart decision, even if the result is not perfect.

Play first, then log a score.

Bronze 4–6 · Silver 7–8 · Gold 9–10. A better score replaces your previous score, without stacking points.

Day 2 complete?

Mark complete after you try the lesson. You can change this later.

Practice safely

Practice with an adult, a clear hitting space, and age-appropriate equipment. Start with dry swings, a tee, or gentle toss. Stop if anything hurts.

If something hurts, stop and tell an adult. Keep throwing within your league’s rules and the player’s comfort.
