DD is 13, 3rd string pitcher on a 16UB travel team. She has been in consistent lessons for 1.5 years. I am happy with her PC but she’s not very disciplined when it comes to practicing on her own. Her travel coach and PC have both told her she needs to pitch 300 balls/week and she has a couple of drills to perform. Outside of actual lessons though, she is undisciplined in her practice, merely throwing random pitches. I’m looking for advice on a structured practice; what is your progression through the practice, and examples of drills you use? She has a good basic warm-up that is similar to what others use on this board, but how many repetitions do you use of a particular drill? She is also very inconsistent with pitch placement, often throwing into the ground, then over-correcting and pitching it 10 feet in the air. She says that when that happens, it’s because she’s trying to place the pitch instead of just throwing.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
