Strike 3- Softball Facility

Everyone is always in a rush to learn new pitches & hit a higher speed. Those who have been there and done that will tell you to make sure your mechanics are sound first. Trust me, as a coach I want to teach new things and work on fun things but we cannot build if our foundation is cracked. I would rather you have one or two REALLY good pitches that you can control than 5 mediocre ones that you don’t know where they’re going. And that is a hill I will die on.

Madi here is heading to her first year of college as a pitcher and we didn’t go full at all during her lesson. Strictly focused mechanics. She knows how important it is.

August, September are great months to rebuild. After months and months of nothing but games and tournaments, sometimes things get sloppy and we need to get them in check again before we add new things and that’s OKAY!

Growing kids = constantly working on mechanics.
Sometimes they may feel like they’ve gone backwards when in reality they may have grown 6+ inches and need to retrain their now taller, longer body.
Today’s workout we didn’t even go full, just worked on the little things that add up to the big things. Spent probably 15 minutes just feeling our way through hip firing. Progress doesn’t always mean learning a new pitch or hitting a higher speed, sometimes it’s just understanding how your body is supposed to move/feel when it’s done correctly.

Do you see the adjustments?
