Once upon a time, there was a team of young baseball players who loved to play the game. They had a great coach who taught them all the skills they needed to be successful. One day, the coach asked the team if they knew what they should do before the big game that was coming up. The team looked at each other and didn't know the answer. The coach smiled and said, "You should practice your catching with your mitt every day leading up to the game." So, the team took the coach's advice and practiced hard. And, when the big game finally came, they were ready. They played their best and had so much fun. In the end, the team won the game and was very happy. They thanked their coach for helping them and never forgot to always come prepared for their games.
