When I was a but a wee lad, I did Little League. I froze whenever I came up to the plate and rarely swung. I think I had maybe one or two hits that year. My team won the championship despite me, lol ( I was actually on vacation with my family). I still kick myself that I wasn't able to break out of my fear of being hit by the ball. I'm sure I frustrated by coach to no end because I could hit when in the batting cage, but I froze during the game.

Sometimes I like to think that had I fought that fear when I was a kid, I would've made it to the Majors, lol!
