    Face masks

    In the city in which I live we have a top DII program and coach. I've been to numerous coaching clinics when the subject of masks comes up and she actually believes they are sexist. Her standard response is "we don't make our little boys wear masks while playing third base so why do we make...

    Shaking off the coach...what to do?

    Yeah what Amy said. Why do we not want kids to think the game for themselves? The fact that she was paying attention more than the coach tells you all you need to know about both your daughter and her coach. I coach a 14U team also and I haven't called a pitch in more than two years. They do...

    74 Pitches in Three Innings

    As a first year 10U pitcher my daughter endured an outing in which she pitched 3 innings, struck out 8 and walked 16. The coach left her out there to figure it out. After innings he was very supportive of her and tried to help her with mechanics etc. but left her out there to keep pitching...

    Worst weekend ever as a coach

    We had a similar situation last year. Our girls are a bit older (2nd year 12U last year) and the situation wasn't exactly the same. Our players dad was in a motorcycle accident but was then in the hospital for almost 2 weeks before he passed away. We all knew it was bad and that be might not...

    Do your pitchers pitch to teammates in practice?

    We have our pitchers throw for bunting practice as well. We only have two pitchers so I don't really want them throwing BP but I do want them to throw while there is a live batter in the box. I also want our hitters to see live pitching from someone besides me, so bunting works out well. We...

    I just don't get the bunting obsession

    With my 14U team we have two girls at the top of the order who can fly and are much much smaller than the other girls. If they can get bunt on the ground they are on base. So, I have them bunt a lot because they are much more effective that way and it doesn't make a lot of sense to have them...

    Physics of Front Side Resistance

    Well lucky for everyone he isn't teaching a college physics class. My question who cares? Maybe his physics are wrong maybe he talks too much maybe he uses words not used on this board but again, who cares? The question is does he explain front side resistance in a way that makes sense to...

    Physics of Front Side Resistance

    Awesome video. I've been trying to explain this to my DD but he does a much better job. Thanks

    How do you handle negative team members?

    Unfortunately RB is right. We had one girl out of 12 that was very negative towards everyone else on the team. Always pointing out mistakes they made, always correcting them all while not paying attention to her own job. It became an even bigger problem because she would tell the other girls...

    Time for a reality check on IR

    I am one of the newbies to the site (I think anyway, been reading it for over a year only started posting in the last couple of months). Last night I posted video of my daughter for the first time and got some very helpful advice about pre motion and drive mechanics. Had I posted video of my...

    My 13 Year Old DD

    I assume fixing her pre motion will help with this as well since it will enable her to stay taller at release. Thanks again.

    My 13 Year Old DD

    I have been so focused on her release that I wasn't paying attention to the pre motion. Good stuff. Thanks for he input.
