Hello i am new to softball coaching but not new to coaching. I'm a former baseball player who is now coaching my daughters 10u team. I have years of coaching football experience but this is my first year officially coaching softball (last year they asked me to 'help out').
I found this forum because i have no idea how to teach windmill pitching, and neither do my other coaches. I was a baseball pitcher so i know there are some skills that translate but i've been watching videos and seeking resources to fill the gaps in my knowledge.
My daughter is a lefty and i believe she has the talent to be a pretty good pitcher. Her main issue is pitch-to-pitch consistency. I've been trying to get her to work on her windup to develop the muscle memory because it seems that when she thinks too much she gets really wild.
We also have 2 other girls who are talented. I believe they are all struggling because they are not getting effective coaching.
I will be looking at these forums for relevant topics but if anyone has any helpful links to share it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!
