    I/R in Knoxville Tennessee --- Coach Brandon Carr

    Brandon and Jamie are first class instructors and even better people! I couldn't list the times they have went out of the way to help my daughter. They have played key roles in the development of numerous college and future college pitchers.

    The surrounding talent

    I think it is good to play for a school team. My daughter played middle school softball and the overall talent level was not very good. She was the loosing pitcher a couple times when she threw a no hitter. I think it helps them to work through adversity. Anyone can be succesful with a team...

    Glove Action Important

    Great video! She looks like both arms are working together. Obvious that you can create more power and whip action with a strong glove side. My daughter has some of Sarah's videos. Great training aides.

    Height?

    If a pitcher is playing in tournaments against excellent competition and getting people out and in command of games, coaches will notice. I am like most everyone, when I see a 6ft tall girl pitching, I stop and see how she throws. Coaches I have talked with don't seem to be hung up on height...

    Pitching instructor in Middle TN

    Myndie Berka is an excellent instructor endorsed by Cheri Kempf. She has worked in middle TN. Has a website I think called Breakthrough fastpitch.

    Arm hitting side

    I agree with you. I have seen girls really emphasizing opening completely and they seem to turn before they actually start to drive off the mound. From what i have seen that causes them to lose velo and accuracy.

    Bucket dads

    I guess it depends on each individual. I personally have never worn gear. I still feel pretty sharp from playing a lot and catching daily. I did have a close call Laces broke and didnt realize it. So keep an eye on your mitt. When i feel like it isnt safe i will deal with it then. Hopefully i...

    backswing or not

    The only problem we encountered was with curve ball.

    backswing or not

    My daughter has experimented with eliminating her backswing. She has been pretty successful but occasionaly it seems her backswing gets wrapped around her back causing arm circle problems. We used a radar gun and did not see any difference in velocity. The only pitch she is having trouble with...
