Anyone see the heart monitor on the Gymnasts father last night?
During the games last night when the vault competition was being shown the father of a US gymnast was wearing a heart monitor as his daughter competed. Anyone here want to wear one when your kid pitches or is at the plate :)- BT3100

Daughter wants to give hitting lessons
My daughter is a pitcher and gives lessons (rising senior at Penn State). Last summer as soon as school ended she posted on Facebook offering a free camp for 12 girls ages 14 and under. She ended up getting 28 emails so she did two free camps. 2 hours each. From those camps she ended up with...- BT3100

College Pitching Question?
The days seem more frequent 5-6 including games. but the number of pitches during practice is lower than I expected. 50-60 max during bullpen. Starters never go live. I almost feel it would be more beneficial to throw less days but more pitches each day.- BT3100

Just a rant
I'm sure it is that way in some case. I can only go by what I've seen in 20 years of doing this. Specializing in freshman year is what I've seen that has worked best. Just my opinion.- BT3100

Just a rant
Multi-sport athlete is a tired old term that needs to be retired. Take any high level softball player today and even if they don't play another sport with a scoreboard they are running, lifting, and doing many other conditioning activities that combine multiple sports. The term Multi-sport...- BT3100

Who catches pitching lessons?
When DD went to Maddie Penta's mother for lessons she would catch her. I offered many times and she declined. Said she needed to see the spin and feel the velocity.- BT3100

Pitchers With Less Than Perfect Mechanics
DD started to land to the left this season. With that came an increase in speed. She was throwing 64-65 in a game last weekend but her curve was flat and running on the plate. Her "screw" was the best its been but she struggled to control her change up. I told her to look at the video and...- BT3100

College has some
I don't think they are as rare as it's made out to be. Pitchers for example are on full scholarship at most D1 schools. At least the #1 and #2 are.- BT3100

When is the right time to speak up....
95% practice. Playing time in games is overrated by most parents. I can only go by my experience as a parent of 12 years in this sport and a coach for about 6. Parents love games... kids do too. But the real gains are made far away from competition. Games reveal the work done in practice. But...- BT3100
