I have the same thing since a ball hit me in the face when i was little. I still flinch at everything coming to my face. It sucks and i feel you! I play volleyball and softball and still am scared of balls coming at my face but any other place i'm fine. I played better when i took a volleyball and this sounds retarded but i threw it up and let it hit me in the face. It helped me see that it wasn't going to hurt me too bad and if i controlled the ball and didn't let the ball control me i was good to go! Hope this helps :)
