Catchers, where do you want to transfer the ball?

If you want to throw hard, you need to have a strong front side block. Give this a try and let me know what you think!

Have a question, send me a dm!

Texas is currently putting on a clinic in aggressive base running and putting pressure on the defense. They are taking advantage of what the defense is giving them and executing to perfection.

Never blindly follow 100% of things taught by any coach or program. Pick what works for you and know that nobody has all the answers.

[Coach Alexis Ventarola @CoachAlexisVent]

Teaching kids to do wrist flicks when throwing is the equivalent to teaching them to squish the bug when hitting.

Strongly encourage you softballers to switch 30 min of the time you spend on Tik Tok, & replace with watching hitting/fielding/pitching/catching drills, motivational speakers, or ANYTHING else that serves you in your sport that you tell me you love so much.
STUDY THE GAME.📚

In a game, would you ever throw without your glove on? Does your glove have weight to it? Do you think the weight from your glove would change your mechanics in comparison to throwing without it?

Whenever an athlete is throwing, they should always be wearing their glove.

[Kristine Botto-Drust @KBDrust]

Reps with bad fundamentals never lead to improvement. Coaches, if you don’t know the correct fundamentals… search or ask. There are so many people out there willing to help.. so those reps are more impactful to the athlete and team.

Just because you see a cool drill on Instagram/TikTok, does not mean it is an effective drill.

Unsure of a drill you saw, send it to me and I can give you an explanation of why it is an effective drill or not!

A good chunk of young athletes today really struggle with one thing: SACRIFICE.

You can’t KIND OF sacrifice and be great.
You can’t prioritize leisure activities and social hang outs over practice, games, etc and expect to be the best.

It just simply won’t happen.
