From email I just received.
I'm not sure how to begin this, my name is Jamie Hillhouse.
As some of you may know (this email is going to all his pitching students and all his groups for weekend lessons) Bill has been battling some illnesses. Without going into specifics there are serious...
My DD started out with back swing, then Bill Hillhouse promptly eliminated it, said that extra motion doesn't gain anything, but also said it is a style choice to do the backswing.
That was about 6 months ago and she has never looked back.

Forward to activate hamstrings and gluteal muscles, focus on pulling up and out hard with the knees and driving the legs through to full extension
pull in reverse to activate quads, keep the butt down with good posture
both work the calves
I like doing it because it has helped my knees to...
Was a good time, DD hasn't stopped smiling. Was a 4.5 hour drive home, less than an hour into the drive she spots a ball fiels from I-75. Dad stop I got to try something.
Thank you Bill look forward to seeing you in December, I hope you can make it back.

Now, for the first time will be seeing him for the first time, i think i am more excited than my DD.
On second thought, she is pretty excited right now.
The team has have 4 strong pitchers, all a little different in what and how they throw, only carry 11 on the team. Up front at tryouts coach told pitchers and catchers, if you aren't strong in either infield or outfield you are at the wrong tryout, I expect every girl here to be able to play 2...
My DD went to 8 tryouts this year, only got offer from one, but it was the team at the end of the day she had wanted all along.
Here are the basics of what happens during tryout time of the year.
I give DD a list of teams with upcoming tryouts.
She and I have a look at the teams I have found...
