FirstSwing Price List: 2006 - Klouter



KLOUTER NEWSLETTER: NOVEMBER, 2018

“If you are in a fair fight, you did not plan your mission properly!”

November is not just a month to give THANKS, but also to assess the coming year and begin thinking about setting reasonable goals for the 2019 year. This means sitting down and writing out your ambitions for the coming year with a viable plan to accomplish each. It is best to list each goal and then a step-by-step plan for each…the “separation is in the preparation!” For and off-season baseball goals, it is very important to create a simple and workable set of goals to include daily and monthly tasks to be done.(See attached Goals) This needs to include stretching, running, throwing, basic hitting, and other skill sets. It is most important that each player throws each week in order to build arm strength. Playing basketball, wrestling, running cross-country, skiing, swimming, etc will help with the physical conditioning and mental toughness needed to compete! Of course, it is important to include diet “control” and staying away from soda pop and other sugary “treats” that will work against building a strong mind and body! JUST SAYING!! KWTP!!

IMPORTANT: Our December 1-2 Camp is coming up very soon. PLEASE make every effort to get to as much of the camp as you can. Also, do help us find more campers and remember you will receive a $25.00 credit for each new camper referred or that you bring with you!!! Tell your friends and please pass on the word at school!! FAW!!

HEALTH “HINT” Of the MONTH: Want to stay perpetually skinny? Eat only celery. It has negative calories and you will use up even more while chewing it!
