    Looking for some advice on HS ball because this dad is driving the struggle bus (Sorry another HS topic)

    I know this thread is getting long but I have to sympathize with most of you as well. My DD lives for softball (travel) but is completely devastated by the quality of her HS team. She does get to play but she is constantly overlooked in practices and feels like a waste of time. My tack is to...

    More power

    Any change in her hitting mechanics since your first post in this thread? Looking for an update.. :)

    More power

    In my humble opinion, she is only really engaging her top half based on this video, she needs to get into her legs. she has a good swing but power comes from the legs. see these hits. Crouching into the load will increase her bat speed and power as she swings through. Also if you can find a...

    PITCHERS who look like they dont care in the circle

Pitchers have the same processes regardless of the emotion exhibited, the...

    PITCHERS who look like they dont care in the circle

    I agree 100% but if my pitcher is a robot I want her to be a robot like Jordy Bahl. Her process is just intimidating, fast ball, change up, rise, it looks like she is coming to whoop some a$$ no matter the pitch.

    Responsibility of a coach when you see bad/different mechanics?

    I agree, you don't play a player in a position they are not qualified for and throwing accuracy is a prerequisite for SS. I am making some assumptions here so I apologize in advance if I have it wrong for your team. the reason I said "If you have game historical game data that would be a great...

    Responsibility of a coach when you see bad/different mechanics?

    Not to throw shade on for profit instructors, I'm am sure there are some awesome ones out there. In my experience with my DD the best instructor we have had is our current one. Instead of going to a field house or batting cage and hoping for someone to be good, I took an alternate route. Now I...

    Responsibility of a coach when you see bad/different mechanics?

    Simple, data. If you have game historical game data that would be a great start, performance evaluation data (pop times, speed, etc.) also good to show delta over time. Data is fact and removes emotion. How long has said player been going to the instructor, has there been improvement, why or...
