Back on the dirt...
I dont want to beat a dead horse but I would like to see more female swings here as well. Main reason is that when I show players, parents and mainly other coaches what I am trying to describe, they say "thats baseball, softball is different." So, if you have any outstanding female swings, please add them to the post.

...and before all of the "there is no difference" campers chime in, it's irrelevant. Even if there is zero difference, female athletes still want to see - and deserve to see - examples of other female athletes demonstrating outstanding swings. Yes, they can get a sense of the technique by watching the Ortizs and Pujols of the world, but they will connect much more readily by watching other elite female softball players.

On a bucket


I believe FFS may have posted these in earlier threads. I have a few, but what I'm finding in hitting and in pitching, there are so few with any clarity or detail on Google or youtube. You can watch the games on YouTube, pick out the clips you like and make your own, but it takes a while.

Poor excuse IMO. Don't be afraid to educate players, parents and other coaches. A good swing is a good swing.

Female athletes should not hold themselves back. What they deserve is to see how the absolute best swing a bat.
