    D2 about to start

    My dd plays for University of Pittsburgh Johnstown, a brand new program in the PSAC league in PA. Interesting to watch development. They are ranked ninth, last, in the PSAC and were not expected to win one game. We have one 3 in league play so far! Several cancelled due to cold. Watch on...

    a whole new world

    My daughter has the opportunity to play for a brand new D2 program. She has been a movement pitcher for years. She never batted much or played a second position much. Off to college and guess who is the number 4 batter! She closes when necessary. A whole new world. Used to talking it up...

    Mindset for pitching success?

    I think my dd has the same affect and personality pitching as in life. She doesn't over react, has good emotional control, uses coping skills like envisioning a strike when a pitch not working, taking deep breaths to reduce stress. Does this make her a good pitcher, who knows. All the coaches...

    Pitcher touching her face?

    My dd just picked up licking her fingers this year, she's a senior. I see know difference in her pitches, just the dirty spot on her pants where she wipes off her fingers. Habitual now, lets see what her college coach does next year.

    Composure

    I can't resist commenting, I'm a counselor and have worked with several athletes. First the player has to WANT to have composure. Some kids are attention seekers and get away with fits at home to get there way. If the desire is there try developing coping skills such as relaxation. Deep...

    Messed up in the head

    My DD is a pitcher and I'm a counselor by trade. She has learned relaxation skills from a young age. They say she's hard to read on the mound. He best skill is deep breathing techniques, this produces pain killer chemicals in the brain. She also uses guided image or goes to her happy place in...

    pitching practice with a broken leg?

    Rest for all muscles can be good. Many pitchers come back equal or better

    Ncaa d-ii 2014

    Nokona glove

    Good point because she is playing in college next year. I heard something about cleats, bats, but not gloves. Have to check it out.

    America's Team?

    There will be plenty more opportunities over the next few years. The first offer is flattering.. We chose not to go and use the money we would have spent on a trip for recruiting. Camps, Queen of Diamonds, good Travel team with schedule she wanted, lessons and so on. Those trips don't help the...

    Should pitchers be allowed to hit.....?

    Same situation for my dd. Promised she would be able to hit and pitch and work another position on past two travel teams. To her frustration she just pitched the last two summers. She is signed to a D2. She decided now is not the time to settle. Found a team that not only gives her pitching...

    Why are you laughing?

    Good for you guys. We were at Travel ball practice last week and a Dad with a 8 year old was watching my dd pitch. He asked me how do you learn to pitch like that and how long does it take. I admit I was stumped for a few minutes for a answer (doesn't happen to much for the counselor) but did...

    a few questions on recruiting...

    Our motto was say no to know one. Always keep communication lines open. Girls change their minds about schools as the process goes on. Other recruits enter the picture and grades change.
