    3 videos of Makenzie pitching under the porch during the rain, one in slo-motion,

    Try not to be a "speed freak". She can only throw as hard as her mechanics will allow right now.... it'll come. As far as the ball sailing when she stays back it is simply release point....see Bill Hillhouse "the pitches" video. Currently it sounds as though your dd is doing fine and is...

    3 videos of Makenzie pitching under the porch during the rain, one in slo-motion,

    Like Ken B clarified....a bit more lean as she drives off the rubber. That lean or bending at the end of the pitch is fairly common for young pitchers. She has some issues but doesn't look like she is forming any real terrible habits. Sometimes she bends at release and other times she doesn't...

    I would suggest to get her hips and shoulders a bit more open as well.

    What pitches should my DD throw?

    PapaPump, by now your probably slightly regretting your post but I do have to agree with SoftSoCal....never ever post like this again. lol. Anyway, let it all slide off your back man. The important thing is that your dd is pitching and your involved and your BOTH enjoying it. At her age I...

    Two words Pitcher2001: Bill Hillhouse! If I had known of Bill when my dd started I would have avoided alot of mistakes. Like everyone has said thus far. COMMITMENT

    To answer an earlier question....she will not lose any eligibility. Well said Amy!! Thats how my dd arrived...during college.

    Good lord!! 3 yrs of gray hair arrived while reading that!! We've covered that talk and the thought of those 2 words is more terrifying than........need a shot of whiskey now! (if i still drank that is)

    Thanks Frozen... its been a tough lesson for sure but as the dust has settled and we've had a chance to sort it out she seeems to be stepping back up to the plate. She is embarrassed #1 (all her words) for allowing herself to end up here. She is upset that she let me down and her coach. I...

    Good question on the eligibility...not sure. As this thing continues to unfold it may not matter. Hard for a hardcore dad like me to come to grips with but it might be over. And so we move on....I love her more than the game!!

    Amy, she continue to live at home. The fallout is that they may not be able to field a team as some players have decided not to return. I feel bad about that but.... I took a major step to try and figure this out by seeking some professional counsel and found that I may have had as much to...

    Well said! I am in no way "blaming" the school (I know your not suggesting that at all) for my daughters predicament BUT alot of what you stated is exactly what we were told would happen. Study table...coach checking in...etc. I signed all the consent forms that gave me access to her...

    Its really hard to pinpoint one thing I guess. Right off the bat the fall ball experience was pretty lame. At best they had 4 players per practice...workout times and facility access were very unorganized. The "mandatory" study group every player was suppose to attend was not attended by any...

    ROI?? I was fortunate enough to have attended college on a football scholarship so I fully under stand the committment it takes. AS for the resuming my career... I carry and tie rebar/building bridges...set steel on powerhouses and skyscrapers so I know what a hard days work and bumps and...

    Well, I was hoping that was the way it was going to go actually but after fall practices started and she saw the lay of the land we saw fairly quickly we had made a mistake in terms of school selection. then again like I told her it wouldn't have matter where she went because school is school...

    Brokenhearted BucketDAD

    Yep...its just tough to take right now. Most importantly now I am just concerned with her getting her head back in the books. Her choice to go to this JC ended up not being what was advertised. No matter....she still had to make the choice of not getting to class and missing her assignments...
