    DD and her hitting coach

    I could see the workout side of it if you want her to be in the best possible shape but don't you think you could work with a young girl and teach her how to be a good hitter. I admit in teaching my DD I utilized hitting machines and lived at an indoor batting cage . As you can tell, I think...

    DD and her hitting coach

    You would pay money for DD to be a better hitter but not a better student?????

    DD and her hitting coach

    Send her to me for $50 an hour and I will show her how to put the right foot in front of the left and how to take a left turn. How many of you out there if your DD was getting a B and thought she could get a B+ would hire a tutor. That's what I thought.

    DD and her hitting coach

    Not to be rude but didn't any of you dads play baseball. Did you have a hitting coach when you were kids? I know I didn't . Get a tee, a net, golf wiffles, beans, and get in your backyard and get to work. Do your girls need fielding coaches because you are too lazy to hit them grounders.

    Infielders face mask

    Just happen to be watching the LL softball and the 2nd basegirl and SS are wearing masks. Why??

    Auburn Pitcher with baseball style delivery

    Her leap is much less than most. If they called her on that, college softball would be in trouble. And what do the pitching gurus on this site think of her motion.

    Don't be that parent

    Plus , you are playing at least 5 games and are there all weekend. I think there would be plenty of time to go over things. Also my DS played HS golf and it is a great lesson in biting your tongue and letting your kid play. And like golf , you make your corrections on the practice range not...

    Don't be that parent

    The main point that I was trying to make was that I don't think a player should be going to her parent during the game for instruction. I am just assuming for the case of this discussion that this player was doing just that. And I agree that coaches probably wouldn't dismiss a girl that fast. I...

    Don't be that parent

    Did he let his pitchers go into the stands so their dad could correct their brush interference in between innings

    Don't be that parent

    Here I go with the pitching dynamics argument again . I got ran out of here once before so might as well go for it again. It is not as complicated as you make it out to be. At that age level with college coaches watching you would you ever see a hockey goalie talk to his father in between...

    Don't be that parent

    Also, A travel coach at a showcase level might not know all the mechanical issues, but should be able to determine if pitches are not working. The pitcher herself and the catcher should also be able to make the proper corrections. If the dad sees something mechanical , the pitcher will fix it in...

    Don't be that parent

    When college coaches are watching you , act like you are playing college softball. What if the players wanted to ask their dads about hitting. An empty dugout?? Pitching lessons from dad in between innings is overkill. Wait till the game is over.

    Don't be that parent

    I know you have all heard to stay away but it still happens. Quick story. DD ,who recently finished her college career, is now going to grad school and helping her old team as an asst. coach. This weekend she was recruiting nearby so I took a ride with her to a few games. I wandered around while...

    Winning isn’t always the goal

    I think the most important thing is to have a plan from the start of the season. Even for a high school or college team, winning every game might not be the right path. Integrating players may cost you a few games but make you a stronger team at playoff time. Obviously a college team isn't going...

    DD finally got the rise.

    DDs last pitch to develop was her rise . It ended up to be her go to . Obviously if it is not spotted well or does not rise it will get whacked just like any other pitch. Keep bringing into her games more and more. It will be a process but she needs that pitch

    Disgusting pitching princess

    Her coaches and parents are to blame. The girls that I have seen like this never are or turn out to be as good as they think they are.

    The time has come.

    My neighbor was the elementary school principal and let us use the gym in the winter until DD popped out a few windows. Keep up the hard work . It is a marathon. Dont forget to keep working on her fielding and overhand throwing, I have seen many games lost (even in college)because the pitcher...

    NCAA women of the year

    DD was nominated for NCAA women of the year along with 480 others (68 softball players). I know that is a real lot but still kind of cool. I threw $2 on her at 480-1. Is that a violation??
