you can improve your boldness by following this step:1. wear a helmet and lie on the floor.2. ask someone to drop a ball towards your helmet. 3. make sure you protect yourself.the other idea is by mastering your pull and hook shot. apply the idea that just imagine you are the world's top batsmen and hit the ball away. KEEP CALM AND DO PULL SHOT. LOL
