    This is me! Volunteer (non-paying) and local college but what a journey this has been. HC said, "Coach 'em up!) (:

    bailing on fast balls

    Good morning! I am doing some work with a local D3 college. I have a hitter who is afraid of fastballs (60ish) and bailing on every pitch. We talked about it so she knows she's doing it but change isn't coming. My thought is to slow down the ball speed to a speed she's comfortable with and...

    Whiplash

    A little offbeat here but has anyone seen this movie on Netflix? I saw it last night, mainly because it was a freshman drummer enrolled at a top music college and I happen to be a drummer. I wasn't too sure about the movie when I first started watching but as it went along, it dawned on my...

    Positive Intelligence

    I instruct/coach 10U, 12U, and some 8 and 14U pitchers, along with assorted hitters and fielders. I have always incorporated a goodly amount of mental work as part of the process, especially with my pitchers. (And a few parents.) I have just been accepted as an active, professional coach into...

    mp4 videos

    So, I have a newbie, doing very well. I am noticing she lines up to the right of the power line and ends up on the left side of the line. The pitch goes to the target, though, which is down the middle on this series. I have an mp4 but it won't attach. Is this right to left movement...

    QOTH placement

    I believe, after owning one for several years now, that I finally may understand it and need to actually use it. So, how is it best to be placed? I am indoors and using a Finch mat. thanks!

    video setup for lessons

    Hello! I would like to upgrade my camera and add a tablet when I video students and then play it back. I use Kinovea and I believe I can get the videos into it from the camera later but while at practice, I would like to view the video with my students on a larger screen, like a tablet. Is...

    At first, there was one-

    That one, being me, the only IR instructor in a county full of HE adherents spouting off about poor mechanics, shoulder injuries, or, as Chrispotts used to put it, "You pitch funny." That was four years ago, so I am quite pleased to report that at this weekend's Dunkirk tournament, all I saw...

    making a pitching lane

    Good evening! I am looking to make a 4' x 50' pitching lane at an old, grass infield TBall diamond. How perfect does the mound area need to be as far as dirt composition? Do I need just the dirt or add sand as well or what? I instruct mostly 10 and 12U with a few 14U. Thanks!

    this right here, eh

    “I dreamed of this moment as a little girl, to take a team to the Final Four and be in these moments and have confetti fall down on me,” said Clark, who is a Iowa native. And all you’ve got to do is believe and work your butt off to get there. That’s what I did, and that’s what our girls did...

    My guy Hunter S. Thompson

    Just read a interesting article on him. He said there are two types of people - those who set goals and change themselves in order to meet those goals and those who change their goals in order to meet who they are at the present time. Seems to me that players who set goals and make the...

    PI near Rochester, NY ?

    I have a perent in Canadice, NY looking for an IR instructor. I can't find Rosie's chart. The parent also asked about online instructions. I don't think I want to do that but I am interested in how well online works. Personally, I need to see non-mechanical cues.

    Please wish me luck (:

    Today, in this IR pitching wasteland that is Chautauqua County, I did my first lesson with my first paying student in a brand new gym. Our goal is to exorcise the bowling mechanics and have her ready for JV ball in the late spring of 2022. She's a good kid with the tools there for her to learn...

    who defines potential?

    recent conversation with my on/off pitcher DD DD - it just feels like you want me to be perfect. Coach Me - not at all. I do want you to put in the work to play at your potential. Same with all my players. DD - oh, so you want all of us to be perfect? Coach Me - absolutely not! But it's my...
