    Delaware/eastern shore Maryland

    Axis, Spin, and Tape

    HELP! I'm confused on the tape/marker direction in relation to the laces. My DD throws a palm-up curve and when thrown correctly the RED tape is parallel (horizontal) to the ground. She will do drills first, then throw at full speed and it really helps us identify if the spin rotation/axis is...

    When does the roller coaster turn into a merry-go-round.

    Mom, thank you for sharing and your update. Doug's reply is a HR but wanted to share a couple of quick thoughts: 1. Expectations can either be for performance, passion/work ethic, focus, or her mental state. I believe it is the athlete's responsibility to manage all of those and the coach's job...

    Baylor pitcher leap and drag.

    Looks good but hard to tell if she gets air. But talk about a "strong front side" when she plants!

    DD signs NLI!

    And I want to publically, and personally thank Coach Rick Pauly for his unselfish giving, GREAT advice, and unparralled pitching instructions. My family owes you soooo much. Michael

    DD signs NLI!

    So many thoughts and emotions run thru you as you watch your DD sign her NLI. But two phrases stick out clearly: 1) "She did it!" She accomplished a major goal in her life. 2) "Thank you!" To those who have helped along the way. Either by coaching or supporting, this has been a team effort...

    Pitching Lessons with Hannah Rogers

    <youtube video mentioned above> Certainly don't like the "Hop" drill. But what is the opnion on the "Bucket" drill? Looks like it could help with explosion off the rubber plus aid in creating better timing or upper/lower sync???

    Survey

    We drive 3.5hrs one way to visit with my DD's PC. She is 17 and pitching for 6 yrs. He is (well) known on this forum and we should have started with him a year earlier when he was in SC. It would have been an 8hr trip. I waited and went to local guy, but we would have been better served to pay...

    DD ordered to intentionally hit the batter

    So many people talk about the "life lessons" of sports - hard work, commitment, team work, etc. The things that build charecter and help you become successful in life as an adult. Then we allow/instruct a player to intentionally hit/harm another player. Coaches like that have no place in this...

    Palm Up Curve

    Yes Rick is great on so many levels. Wish we found him earlier. I had heard of him a year prior but he was still in SC. Went to a local (MD) coach who switch DD to palm up but he was not IR focused. Rick's got her on the right path but we're playing a little catch up. She's a Junior in HS with...
