    10 Year old DD swing help

    My eyes arent as seasoned as some by any means but IMO she is locking out her arm REALLY early and her hands are kinda far away from her body, which likely means she is casting/sweeping out. Of course that means a slower swing. I think aiming to be more compact would help her out in a big way...

    Team Slogan

    My favorite all time from my football days in HS. "We bust ours to kick yours" Love that saying. I also remember our swim team was the reason that sayings on our shirts was erraticated. Their saying was "Go in hard, come out wet". LOL.

    Looking for opinions, Agian

    IMo your better off trying to start the CORRECT way first and work towards an ideal swing. Thats hard enough as it is. If you teahc her one way, then change.............its hard to break once the habits are engrained IMO. I think you should teach her the proper sequence. It could be the...

    Backhanded compliments???

    My dd is 4'10, 83lbs. Her other bat is a Cat Osterman Demarini 31/20. She has had plenty of others but she hasnt used those ones for a while. The CF5 she has is a 31/20 and its perfect for her IMO. She could probably use a 31/21 just fine but if it aint broke dont fix it right? IMO I would get...

    Why aren't softball cleats designed more like short-sprint track shoes?

    The biggest reason is because of support. Track spikes do not support your ankles and feet the way normal cleats will. In fact tarck spikes are downright awful for your feet. Most experienced track coaches prefer that their track athletes wear them as little as possible( talking sprinters here)...

    Unbelievable issue from Parent on team

    Mom is an idiot. Your lucky to have her off your team. A moron like this doesnt care that her actions effect other children. She could have easily just said she had problems and they wanted to leave but making up lies and letting you beleive they were coming sounds on par with this kind of...

    pitching coach conflict

    Just let them know that you think very highly of Hillhouse and that you and yoru daughter are very comfortable working with him and you feel he is a great coach. Just be truthful and frim in your beliefs. If Hillhouse was within 500 miles of us, my dd would be going to him!

    Crossfit?

    Again, I dont think crossfit is bad,( I like it very much and its quite addicting at times) but I promise you that time would be better spent taking a different approach when training a softball player to be at their peak performance. If the choice is between crossfit or nothing, well then of...

    DD is on cloud 9 right now!

    So my 9 year old has really come a long way as a player in the past 6 months. She was already a good little pitcher for her age and a good fielder. However, in the past few month she has really come along with her hitting. We have dedicated a tone of time and started all over using many posts...

    Crossfit?

    See goingdeep, I know you are lying because that second picture is clearly a picture of me.

    Crossfit?

    Nothing wrong with being in amazing shape. No one said that. However, crossfit is one program for every person. The Wads have no rhyme or reason. Wanna lose weight? Same program Wanna get bigger and stronger? Same program. Wanna be more explosive and faster? Same program. Thats a ridiculous...

    Crossfit?

    Crossfit is good if you are an adult who seeks to be in amazing shape and hope to acheive ceratin looks physically. Generally speaking it is absolute garbage for an athlete! Again, if it is done in small doses in certain parts of the year as part of an overall phase, then it could be beneficial...

    Tryouts

    Just to update everyone: Our team is coming alomng okay. I sure wish the roster was complete but at the end fo the day I would rather make sure we have the right people and make a good informed decision, as opposed to just picking people so we can field a team right away and start competing. I...
