    I was demoted as a head coach. How do I get over it?

    Ok so my honest opinion. When you state that you are worried that YOUR dd is going to be put in the outfield or that YOUR dd will be put on the bench, that tells me that with you as coach, she would NEVER be put in positions that you put other people's children in. It sure sounds like you are...

    Dad too demanding on daughter

    Marc, years ago I was fortunate to get to hear Don Meyer give a presentation on basketball. In doing so, he issued the typical handouts. Primary to those handouts was a link to his website. I'd recommend all coaches go to this website and check out the various links. Spend time in the...

    Uppercut Swing

    Mike, I think the difference then is that it comes down to how you want to teach that concept. As you know, I've taught a similar concept for years (23+) where I addressed the issue as "nose over the plate." No one I know says that this is a bend at the waist without out also having other...

    Uppercut Swing

    "Conscience thought?" To be consistent then wouldn't that include that a hitter in tenths of a second can't thing "throw my hands at the ball?" Wouldn't it then be consistent to suggest that a hitter can't think "top hand torque?" Wouldn't it be consistent that a hitter is unable to think...

    Uppercut Swing

    Wellphyt, it seems as if many are jockying for your attention. Not me. I sent you a pm. I hope you read it. Here's the bottom line. I've taught and coached for a few decades. I've had much success in both softball and baseball. Still, what I teach and believe in had to make sense to me...

    Types of Tees

    Not to put down another product that looks very similar, you can count on these tees standing the test of time. That area where the ball sits is rolled rubber. It gives with the bat. Therefore, the tee does not get knocked over with a poor swing. (within limits naturally) You can break the...

    Types of Tees

    The subject of Tees begins and ends with Tanner Tees: Tanner Baseball and Softball Batting Tee If you ever use them, you won't ever use any others.

    Walk In Pitching Speed Increase

    Doesn't it also have to do some with the intent? My dd's instructor has her do a 50% walk through where she is given some portion of the motion to really concentrate on as she gains momentum from the walk. Then, she progresses 75 then 100. On the 100%, she is supposed to only care about...

    Since we're going to emphasis some information contained on other websites, and as an attempt to show other thoughts on the subject of THT, here is additional reading: Blur? I got blur - Baseball Fever I got blur part 2 - Baseball Fever Torque - Baseball Fever

    Hitting Questions?

    Major history here. Yet, some of us get along and rather well. It just depends upon who's pulling who's chain. What has been lost in all of this is that there really were questions asked throughout this thread that could have generated good discussion. Yet, one attacks another or one cites...

    Hitting Questions?

    Tom, I just noticed your reference to me as a "killer B." LOL! No one I know puts much stock into what I say. However, I do speak from experience. My personal experience. I participate in these threads as a resource who's only agenda is to speak from that experience. I don't have to be...

    Hitting Questions?

    Mike, Thanks for the thoughtful response. Perhaps my experience is different than others. I don't know. As I say in my class, "I know what I know but I know what I know. Some people know what they know but they don't know what they know. You know?" :eek::D I talk to SE about once a week...

    Hitting Questions?

    I've never been categorized as one who post "content." I understand that. I do work with hitters and Mike, I think that is central to the issue. You've been to college courses yourself where you've walked out and noted that the instructor is so far removed from reality that they'd never last...

    Rotational Hitting

    Pops, mine's 15 and should be a first year 16U. However, she "played up" last year and so this is her second year. Her team is playing 16U A. She is returning off of an injury and so, we'll see how everything goes. She does hit every day which I hope will get her ready. We play two indoor...

    Hitting Questions?

    Tom, you know little of what SE talks about/believes nor are you aware of any of his analysis per his video library, current website discussions, etc. SISOFTBALL, I'm hoping you find the information I provided helpful. This thread has been hijacked enough. Tom, might I suggest that you make...

    Weight Workout for Pitchers

    Marc, As you know, this is a hot topic on another site as well. My response on another site and now here is that while lifting isn't a problem its muce more complicated. When you ask a 12 year old to start a program, they should be evaluated first by a trainer and given the clearance by a...
