    Goal Setting

    I hate goose eggs on our side of the score board…so in a effort to correct this thread's goose egg (which has been annoying)…I will throw out a simple goal setting strategy that is useful across many context's of life. I invite others to give their goal setting strategy…so every kid knows how...

    Umpiring resources

    I am looking a little ahead as DD is in last HS season now. I have quite a few options in directions I will go when she is done but one I am considering is umpiring and continue one on one work with local players. What are some good resources for beginning umps?

    Finishing the pitch

    One thing I wanted to ask...while we are in our last break from pitching before gearing up again...is HOW do you describe "finishing the pitch" to your dd and/or students. I had a poster give me some cues and find them helpful. What are your cues/wording etc?

    Pitching Shoes

    We seem to play on some fields... that are never really broken up. They have a layer of dust over a rock hard surface. I don't know what the red dirt is...but its real fine on top. It creates a slippery surface...and affects dd's ability stride and ability to grab that stride foot into it...
