Ch 3. 117-133

I have heard about positioning before, but never knew much about it or that there were different ways researchers could study. I found it interesting when the book talked about the fixed positions, because I have seen similar events in my life to that of which they discussed throughout this chapter. For example when I was about three my father taught to coach's pitch for kids. I wasn't able to play until I was five, because I was too young at the time. Throughout that time he taught all the kids the fundamentals they needed to know. Well once I was old enough I started playing and I think it would be different for him as a coach to coach me than the other ball players, because his perspective of the game changed once I started playing. He is going to be tougher and make me work harder than the rest to try and make me a decent player, and that is completely normal because he would want me to be the best I can.
