After seeing the writing on the wall with travel ball coaches hit and miss knowledge we took hitting into our own hands.
By getting our own hitting instructor.
This has been working for our three dd's to navigate the journey in softball.
This advice may sound strong handed but it works. Advice you can take it or leave it. This is what we have done.
After finding a reputable hitting instructor
when considering accepting a spot on a new team telling team coach we have a hitting instructor with this statement
Coach your feedback will be listened to and we will take your comments to our instructor. Thats it.
When we implemented this conversation it stopped the confusion from coaches interpretation screwing with our dd's thinking process.
Let the coach know if they want dd on their team this is our plan.
How we came to find a great instructor. Took lots of initial research on who we may select. Then using first lesson impression being our test sample. Were upfront with each instructor that we want to see first if good fit. After going to watch a couple lessons not impressed. Then finding a couple to pay for first lessons one was a maybe. We decided one more instructor evaluation. Which turned out to be a connection that has been instrumental to our dd's.
Research and taking time to go see whats being taught was well worth it. Best thing for dd's to get an impression first befor selecting the instructor.
Finding a reliable instructor with a softball resume with long term results became invaluable foundation for hitting.
The instructor is a D1 all american hall of fame player who has passed on years of experience at the plate.
After our eldest dd made her college choice reaching her D1 goal looking back the instructor was more than a hitting resource because of her longevity in the sport was able to provide insights to what was to come at the next level and prepair our dd for it.
