Miranda Elish turning to her teammates after giving up a hit...
"Hey, were good. I got this!"
Have an unshakable presence in the circle. Let your team know you want the ball. If you go all out for them, they will return the favor.
SO WHAT, NEXT PITCH.

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Whether your a starter or on the bench opening weekend, that may not be your role tomorrow. Every pitch, at bat, inning, game, practice, you have to fight...work...learn...earn. Learn from every experience and be ready when your name is called.

Parents-yelling at your 8 year old daughter to throw strikes is actually most likely making her worse. Let her fail and handle it on her own. Let her pitch in a stress free zone. Let her learn to love it. Don’t be the reason she stops loving the game. Let’s stop the madness.

Levels of leadership:
FRESHMAN - Learn
SOPHOMORES - Follow
JUNIORS - Lead
SENIORS - Influence
Followership is part of leadership. Need to be a learner/follower in order to be a effective and influential leader.
Good stuff on

Camp question: “How do I stand out to college coaches?”
1. Be really good at softball.
2. Be ATHLETIC. MOVE WELL.
3. Know the game.
4. Love the game.
It’s really simple.
To accomplish 1-4 development outside of game play/showcase must occur. Train more than you play games.

Everything you do as a ball player matters. Catch play, long toss, warm up, bands, front toss, field duties, spins, how you treat your glove, etc.. The small choices you make daily add up, good or bad. Be the player who is disciplined enough to do the simple better!

You don’t always get what you want.
You don’t always get what you work for.
You don’t always get what you deserve.
Head down. Keep working. Go after what you want relentlessly. Your time will come.

When it’s all said and done it’s not about the wins and losses. It’s about the love you have for your teammates and for the game. The games not hard. It’s not a grind. It’s fun, exciting & a challenge. Don’t take a day for granted wearing a uniform, tomorrow isn’t promised.

What if instead of teaching young pitchers “pitches” we just taught them spin related movement on the ball? How can you manipulate the ball to achieve the following: top spin, back spin, side spin?

Go 0-4 today? So what. Make a few errors? So what. Have perspective.. you will experience hardships way worse than failure in a ball game in life. So pick your head up and enjoy the game no matter what the outcome. This game is fun. It’s supposed to be at least...

Becoming a master of your craft doesn’t always mean putting more tools in the toolbox. It means learning to use the tools you already have in a more effective way.

Everyday you take the field with your teammates is a blessing. Don’t take a day for granted. This game won’t always give you want you want and it can be easy to let your joy be driven by results only.
Today is the day that the Lord has made. Rejoice & be glad in it 👊🏻

My fav person in the game right now. Elite swing pattern. Dominates in circle. Plays the game with passion & TRUE emotion. Cheers & songs in dugout are forced.. this is authentic & straight up real.

The best part of the sweep was how every person on lineup card contributed. My bench executed & my starters delivered. This team is selfless, classy & humble. When I put a senior on the bench for a game & her comment is “good lineup coach,” I know I have something special. ❤️

The best cultures have teammates/influencers/leaders that believe in what the group is doing so deeply that they become emotional about their everyday actions and decisions. They invest in themselves while holding each other accountable. They are all in.

An important part of the loading phase is when you start moving:
▶️Slow & early - can’t be rushed
▶️ Smooth & continuous - creating rhythm into swing
▶️Working move off pitchers motion
▶️Creating stretch

Elevation changes reaction time: Let’s say the pitches thrown below are 60mph. The⬆️⬇️changes on each pitch cause the 100% on-time contact point to change changing the hitters reaction time. The pitch up & in feels like 64mph. The pitch down & out feels like 58-56mph.

When we pair pitches that share a tunnel, hitters get fooled. The goal is to throw through that tunnel to make these back to back pitches look the same at the swing decision point.
