Throwing a baseball is like tying a shoe- Analogy Assignment

Throwing a baseball is not as easy as it looks. Most people can throw a ball, can they throw a ball with accuracy and enough strength to hit a target? Throwing a baseball has taken me 15 years to perfect, yet not all of my throws are accurate which this is known as an error in baseball. A perfect analogy to throwing a baseball is tying a shoe. When tying your shoes there are multiple steps to follow as there is in throwing a baseball. The first step in tying your shoes is griping the laces properly. The first step in throwing a baseball is gripping the laces properly. When tying your shoes there is a push and pull process, this takes place in a similar fashion when throwing a baseball. We see push and pull when tying laces when you make the loops and “push” the loops through. Then when finishing the tie you “pull” the laces tight. The push and pull motion in throwing is demonstrated in the arm through the throw. When you throw a baseball you “pull” the arm back away from you then you “push” the ball forward in the direction which you are throwing. When throwing a baseball once you understand the concept and learn the steps it becomes muscle memory just like how we tie are shoes everyday.
