junior high school baseball

Today, I talk about my junior high school baseball. In my junior high school baseball, there were some problems. I talk about one problem in the some problems.


That was that I was 14 years old so I was in the 8th grade. When I was at that time, we had very big championship. It called "Hawks cup". I thought 50 junior high school baseball team took part in the championship. That was very high level championship so our team prepared for winning the championship. We worked hard so much. We ran, hit, practiced defense and our team became very strong. We did not lose at the scrimige. We thought we are going to win the championship but we shaved our eye blow the championship last night. Next day was the championship. Actually, we can not shave eye blow because school says " do not shave eyeblow" as a school rule. But we did because we wanted high motivation. We thought if we shave eye blow, we can get high motivation.

Then, next day we were practicing like usual. Mr. Kawamoto who teach us noticed my friend eye blow and he said " Hey, you shaved your eye blow, right?" and my friends said"...yes." then Mr. Kawamoto hit him so many times. He does not like like that students. He thinks students must follow school rule. He checked every player's eye blow and he noticed my eye blow too. He hit me so many times too. He noticed only me and the friend. Me and the friend was the starting line up but Mr.Kawamoto went out from the starting line up and he said " you guys do not have to be here. Go away!!" so we went side of ground and cried. Of course our team's motivation was very low. There were not very important player. We lost the game.

From then, we followed the school rule and we practiced so much. We became stronger than that day. I did not forget that day. That day is very important for me and also very important for our baseball team. We lost the game because of me and the friend. I felt the reason of lose is me then I changed my mind. I have to concentrate baseball. I do not want other thing.


That day, I learned school rule is very important. If we follow school rule, we can win the game. But if we do not follow the school rule, we can not win the game. Mr.Kawamoto was very good coach and teacher. I met him in this year's winter vacation. He did not change. Actually, he won the championship therefore his team became No.1 in the japan's junior high school in 1999 so I respected him so much. When I met him, He remembered me. I was very glad. I taught baseball for junior high school baseball player. They were very good player. I hope they can win the game in the summer. I am going to watch their game in the summer.
