    Daughters arm hurts when throwing?

    My 10 yo DD has been complaining about bicep area of her arm hurting after throwing. Any suggestions about what she might need to do or change to help arm not hurt from throwing? Chad

    some pain on throwing

    I've heard a lot about Wasserman drill and water bottle drill, but never seen examples. Are there any videos for both these drills? My daughter has a tough time getting a spin on the ball. Sometimes it looks like it wants to knuckle. She been complaining of pain in her elbow and bicep. Thanks...

    Up and Through?

    Okay, haven't looked at it that way. I've just noticed barrel comes over her shoulder instead of down beside her shoulder. I'll have to look into that. That's for the suggestion. Thanks Chad

    Up and Through?

    Need some drills or suggestions to help dd get on plane of the ball. Bad about swing down to the ball. When contact, bat goes down instead of up and through. Hits a line drive, and ball has so much backspin it just floats, not driven. Thanks Chad

    Picking eater and nutrition

    Try not to fight, but just want to make sure she doesn't get too low in fuel for her body. Being a diabetic myself I worry about eating. If we could eat soft tacos I wouldn't have to worry. She'll eat her weight in soft tacos. LOL Chad

    Picking eater and nutrition

    I am the parent, and just tired of fighting to get her to eat. She's a dang good ball player, but small. Talent wise she's as good as any, but with her size she's not as strong as majority. I've tried peanut butter, that worked for awhile, but now she's turned from that. Might try the clif...

    Picking eater and nutrition

    Have 9 yr old girl that's on the small side and hardly eats anything. Just wondering if there is a milkshake, snack bar, drink that would be packed with nutrition to make sure she gets what she needs. Chicken fingers is about all she'll eat. Any that maybe only one or two. She's so active she...

    Leaping, need help!!!

    Not a great video, but all I have right now. This day wasn't a very good I/R day, but that's another battle. Trying to get out of leaping and get that toe to drag. So need some help. Need some suggestions and pointers to get out of leaping. http://youtu.be/ajccMvd8c_A Thanks Chad

    Coach asked me why I teach I/R!!

    It was funny yesterday. My DD isn't a pitcher by no means, but she wants to pitch so bad. So I told her we would for 10U. After that if she doesn't get any bigger we are gonna just work on fielding and hitting. She's the smallest on her travel ball team. She gonna play park ball just to pitch...

    How much clearance is needed...

    Sorry you couldn't understand what I was saying. I was referring to how open or closed the hips are as the ball comes around. Chad

    How much clearance is needed...

    Got a question? I've heard from hillhouse and some others about going through the hips not around the hips. From the pictures above, it looks like these pitchers are going around. Am I missing something? Looks to me the hips are more open at release of the pitch? Chad

    Team drills and T work

    I agree with statements above. Don't rely on other coaches for proper swing teaching. I've had wife send videos while I was at work of dd's practice. DD's swing wasn't good, but hit the ball good. You good hear coaches good hit good swing. I was shaking my head at work, fussing cause I knew I...

    Bath path Help

    Thats one thing I was going to try to do is lower her hands a little and have her hold the bat more upward. Shes been hitting really good lately, but still has room to improve. She just moved up to kid pitch and has adjusted well to it. But we been fighting the downward path for a while. Its...

    Bath path Help

    I'm talking about path to the ball. Not after contact. If path was more on plane with the ball I don't think the deflection would be that drastic. Chad
