When my DD went off to college, I wasn't quite ready to end my coaching that I was quite fond of.
I went over to the local Little League team, and grabbed me up a 10u team and went back to work. After awhile some of the kids on the other teams were needing a little help on fundamentals, and whoa mercy was the pitching BAD!
I then decided I would be more help as an individual skills coach than as team coach. --Going back to 10u with a different generation of parents was quite the experience.
Kids signed up for pitching, hitting, catching & fielding, eventually pitching became the prevalent need and I focused solely on that.
I'm sort of a perfectionist and when I do something I want to do it with the best of my abilities, so if I was going to spend hours and hours on the internet analyzing players and skills video's I wanted to leave it at just one skill.
But lately I had a few pitchers with just horrible overhand mechanics so I began using a few minutes in their classes to work on this problem.
Which then turned into more pitchers wanting to work on overhand and now I have (2) just overhand throwingclasses.
So curses to this site which has me on a new discussion thread, going over video after video of overhand skills and drills tapes.
So thankful to have basically a one stop shop of good knowledge to go to. Now whose going to clean my house?
