  • Preparation is a good place to start, let your player know in advance that time on the bench is inescapable and happens to everyone.
  • Spend this time improving their fielding or hitting.
  • Watch and observe what is happening during the game.
  • Learn from the players on the field.
  • Time on the bench affords them the opportunity to cheer on their team.
