I completely agree that the first-hand experience that former high-level players bring to the table is very valuable, and can be highly inspirational for young players. This reflects a lot on their quality as a teacher, and how well they can communicate their experiences, knowledge, and passion to their students. However, when these experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate teachers provide instruction that is flawed and doesn't match what they actually do/did, it can spoil the soup.

When will she be at ABAC? Will you know ahead of time if she's starting?

It would be nice to know what/how you teach. While you are here it would be a good idea to get BM JS RP and RB certified.
Saturday March 28th at 1:00PM and 3:00PM. Expect her to start the 1st game. DW and I will probably come up for those games since it is a straight shot up I-75.

Will put it on my calendar!
Well, I guess Hannah never came back to DFP. Too bad, I was so intrigued to learn about her second push. Maybe someday she will come back and explain.

Yikes!!!!! Teaching a second push........let's hope we don't turn our great women's game into the leaping lizards seen in the men's game now.
I think that young lady pitcher in the light blue shirt at the beginning pitches pretty well, but once the instruction and breaking down the motions begin.... I really scratch my head. Maybe that gal in the light blue shirt should be allowed to explain accurately what she does when she pitches.

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???

Funnily enough the not-Hannah demo-dummy in the green shirt on the youtube video is my DD. She has been working with the company the main speaker is from for the past few years and while it may not be explained 100% well in this video, they do teach what is very, very close to the techniques that we all love so much here at DFP. If they didn't - we wouldn't be there.
Do those who wondered what happened - Hannah ended up moving north and south in Florida shortly after she posted, then signed with USSSA Pride (looks like she is still there), played some and last time I saw her, was pretty involved in Gators Girls Camps (Gator Girls Softball Camps) which have been pretty good experiences for the attendees from what I have seen.
