    Way up on front foot

    Got a girl that we can not get to stay back/balanced when hitting. Weight goes 90% on front foot. Looking for some good tee or soft toss drills. Thanks.

    Team with Heart and Drive

    Great group of girls, but just seem to go through the motions. Go deep into Sunday, but always come up short. Might be my fault. I'm not a high energy type coach. Maybe that's were it needs to start. Any suggestions?

    How to fix sliding front foot before drive

    My 12 year old has started to slide her front foot before pitch drive. I'm sure it's illegal. Maybe I could put a small device on the front to not let her move forward with it (ironic timing - see Cals flapper pitcher post) or maybe I could look for suggestions from this group on drills or...
