    The Day I Threw My Glove

    This is when practice becomes no balls, no gloves, no bats. Line it up for killers.

    10U Pitching Question/Frustration

    I love reminding 10U parents that its not a drop ball, it's a lack of velocity and gravity. Now go work on your fastball spots and a changeup lol.

    Same in MI. TB hands off from tryouts till the day your school team is eliminated from state tourney.

    New coach, advice please

    Coach them to love the game and theyll play it for life. Just get out there and be a 10yr old. We stretch exercise, run, hi-5,and tease right there with them. Let the 10yr old out and youll see the change in them.

    Too many or Too few??

    Ive found in the 10 yrs Ive been coaching is that there are plenty of players. Just not enough coaches willing to spend the energy and time training them to become qualified players. Everyone is looking for someone elses elite or qualified player. I love getting an average/below kid and turning...

    Quotes Question

    "Dont talk about it, be about it." "Dont think, just hit" "Grab some pine meat" "Are you ok? Well you shouldnt be cause you suck" "Dont worry about it, your still my 5th favorite player on the team" Those are some of my favorites.

    Thank you for your input. We play 90+ games a year, so lack of live pitching is not an issue.

    Thanks everyone. I have a new direction to try with her. My last ditch effort with her is going to be yes yes no mentality in the box. I appreciate all the suggestions!

    So damn frustrated

    Thanks for your response. We vary our cage tools. We hit off t's every bp and we alternate between machine and front toss every week. I like to do both because they see the speed from the machines I cant provide, and different locations, releases, speeds, arm speed that I can provide with front...

    I like the thinking on this one. Its an area I didnt even consider. Could you expand on the YesYesNo? Thank you.I have inquired about her eyes. She wears contacts.

    Shes not swinging at bad pitches, just bad swings at good pitches. You guys starting to feel my frustration?

    So damn frustrated

    These are great replies thank you but Ive tried each already lol. We started with film and showing her the difference. Ive tried getting her into a routine with a focal and verbal points, she also notoriously rips ball foul down the 3rd baseline at me so Ive tried pushing patience and go to...

    So damn frustrated

    Ive got a player that's been with me for a few years. In BP, off a tee, machine, soft , and front toss her swing is beautiful. Mechanics are perfect while shes peppering the back of the cage. Come game time and she is the complete opposite bat drag, legs collapsing, casting. Her swing is a...

    Coaches need coaching too!

    Ok. Thank you. Wasnt sure if I was asking in the manner expected from this forum.I will get some longer vid up. She is 14 playing 16U travel. Mostly NSA tournaments. Im happy with the swing there but it isnt consistent. When it gets too live pitching she struggles. Pulls balls to the fence, but...
