    The Power of Using Video When You Practice

    Also works for getting better at coaching if you record yourself teaching, and see the reaction from the pupil.

    Love me some Bill. Oldest brother is also Bill. But…science.

    76 mph

    Posture and body position in relation to the target are very important to both lines of thinking. What most consider proper body posture and positioning does not allow for a natural “bowling” type form. Right or wrong?

    76 mph

    What I’ve noticed on this topic is that, other than people arguing for argument’s sake, is that she(Pickens), starts out like someone who wants to throw fast. How fast can my arm go. Her arm’s speed straight out of her backswing is extremely fast, and only gets faster. Her lower body doesn’t...

    76 mph

    Attach an arm to the hood with a brick in the hand of the arm and then compare. All those pivot points make a world of difference when cracking the whip, giving the fingers much more energy than just stopping the car with a brick on it.

    Movement Pattern Mystery?

    First, congratulations on your daughters success. Had a similar experience. Girl had the same forearm issues as yours did. Did not rest enough after injury. Rested, fixed form, fixed pain. Very similar form(more sideways led, rather than driving forward) to what your pitcher was preinjury. Lot...

    Change in high school leaping law

    Thanks to all taking time to answer what changes would be made to practices(training) if any. I teach girls to throw and honestly want to know what I need to change, what problems will come, etc… I admit that I have griped for years about leapers and base umps(with bases empty) that simply...

    Change in high school leaping law

    Oldest dd tells me nfhs changed 6-1-2c to allow leaping. Does this change anything pitching coaches will do in training sessions? If you coach pitching, what say you?

    Hip or Knee issue when pitching

    She seems to be turning her drive foot first, instead of keeping her drive toes at the target. Intentionally trying to open as opposed to driving out hard and letting the inevitable happen(opening). Should help with the posture (back shoulder drop, leaning too far back at release) as well...

    Would you expect this

    The rulebook is always right, the umps are either knowledgeable, or Sunday leaguers. And if the question is should that pitch be called illegal, its obvious that it should every single time.

    coaching

    I got lucky and had another DD when the first was done, so I am sorry for your loss. I love that your older girls watched the younger ones, as I have a 3rd DD who loves when her older sister comes to see her play. The rest of the girls on her squad wait on her every word. Makes me think maybe...

    Hi from NW Iowa

    I am on DD #2. Both pitch(ed). Seems to be mostly hello elbow taught in this area. Years ago, after trying HE myself and thinking this doesn't feel right. I decided there must be more. Found Hillhouse(on DVD). With nothing more, turned #1DD into a decent pitcher. Injury wiped out senior season...
