    Take it to the plate

    DD is a average 14u travel player bats about 330. Here's the issue the T swing looks great but the plate swing looks awful. I tell her to take it to the plate. I know this is something she has to figure out but any advice on helping her speed that process up? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My DD is in 8th grade this year. She's played travel for several years but was never in the top half of the talent. Last year before school ball she was injured, went to ever practice but could not participate, released after the first week of games. Only played defense about 5 innings, and...

    Middle school ball

    So our coach's have a strict policy that you are expected to be at the ball park for practice or games on the stated time, which I agree. The issue is they are not there. Example. Be at the park at 4:00 for a 5:00 game time. One shows up at 4:30 the other 5:00. ALL and I mean AlL the...

    Front shoulder

    DD front shoulder keeps opening to early. I know that this is widely accepted to be a problem. Did some research and watched some slow mo videos of top hitters and the one thing that I noticed on a lot of them is that the front shoulder does open early and far. Is this really that big of a...

    Hitting help

    Ok so I think sometimes a player should slow the swing down and get the feel of fixing an issue to work on mechanics. DD's hitting coach is against this and says it creates a slow game time swing. I understand if all your doing is slow but we go hard in every session that I work with her and...

    Team needs motivating

    Coach's, how do you motivate your players?? So I have a 12u team and they are ok, not going to win trophy's anytime soon but can win some games. The players are lazy most of the time, sometimes they play hard just cant get them to be consistent. We have tried music, fun practices now I think...
