Outfielders: I can’t stress enough how important your position is in this era of softball.
FACT: Mistakes in the infield cost your team bases; mistakes in the OF cost your team runs.
Embrace your role + cover ground like a race car. Your team needs you now more than ever.

Successful secondary plays, stolen base coverages and pickoff plays for fastpitch softball

Catchers are ATHLETES!
Check out the reflexes on

Note the positioning of the 1B at first base to receive the throw. Gives a wide target so Edenfield can throw outside of the running lane.

We often take for granted how special it is to play a team sport.
There ups + downs for sure, but being a part of a team that sacrifices and plays for each other is like no other experience.
The bonds you forge are ultimately what you'll remember most when the season ends.

To me, the most rewarding lessons are the ones where the athlete STRUGGLES almost the entire time to learn a movement but finally has a breakthrough moment where it all clicks.
Athletes: Moments of change require hours of failure. It's a price worth paying.

Always look for secondary plays!
Here's a rare DP from 2 tag plays: CF throw home results in a diving swipe tag by the C, who throws to the 3B in V tag body position.

Here's the 1st of my Ruthlessly Aggressive Defense technique compilations:

TIP TUESDAY:
Our dominant eye naturally wants to move down toward the ball - especially on low pitches. This usually brings the shoulder with it, messing with our posture + barrel accuracy.
Combat this by maintaining horizontal eyes from stance through the entirety of the swing
