Throwing_And_Bunting_Demonstration_Speech

Throwing And Bunting Demonstration Speech PERSONAL OPINION SPEECH Specific Purpose: To demonstrate the proper throwing and bunting techniques in softball Central Idea: With proper execution, throwing and bunting will be more affective INTRODUCTION Attention Getter: It’s the bottom of the 9th, two outs, two strikes, and runners on first and third. You are the batter and the coach calls a suicide squeeze. You pray that you execute the bunt correctly so you don’t let your team down. Now picture yourself in the same situation as an infielder. You know the bunt is coming so you’re creeping up. . . . all the while knowing that the next throw you make could determine the fate of the game. Preview: In both situations, execution of the play is critical to the success of either team. In softball or baseball, it comes down to who can “make the play.” No one wants to be stuck in a situation where their throw or bunt is simply wrong. DEVELOPMENT I. Bunting A.
