    Teaching HLT mechanics

    Throwing. I get it Austin Wasserman’s book is the gold standard. I have it, I’ve read it, I’ve tried to use it as much as possible. My question is how do you go about teaching these mechanics both at the younger ages where most of the technical explanations are confusing and at older ages where...

    Fungo reccomendations

    Does anyone have good fungo reccomendations, specifically for female coaches. Some of the ones I've used before have been on the heavy side for a fungo.

    Catching makes you slower?

    A couple years ago I was told catching made you a slower runner. While it was a nice excuse to explain my below average speed I didnt't quite buy it.

    Best Softball Education
