I daughter's hitting coach has a son who is a very high level player and an excellent hitter.
All the son ever did was just hit, no tees, just live pitching.
If there are two outs and the runner on first is not fast, throw her out and end the inning. (the runner likely won't try to get into a pickle so the run won't score.)
If I'm doing Gamechanger, it is a steal if she commits to going before the ball is dropped, otherwise it's E2.
If it's my daughter, it is always stolen base, right?
I hope your daughter bounces back. In U8 she would cry when she got up to bat. In a U12 All Star game she played against a pitcher and one dad very familiar with softball said, "I've never seen a 12 year old pitch that fast." Rumor has it that she had a D1 "offer" already.
My daughter struck out...
Maybe tell the team that the catcher is the first one on the field, she’ll have 8 girls available to help her get her gear on. Yeah, kinda dumb, but makes the point.
That wasn't the first time he was overly passionate about a softball game and it won't be the last. I'd email the coach, AD, Principal and your school's AD and principal and let then know that you feel that it's potentially dangerous to play that team unless...
Does anyone have an update on having success with cheaper GoPro-like cameras?
I'd really like one that you can control remotely from a phone.
Finding one in the $50 range would be great.
Or just one. My daughter's school has a chain link fence with a solid roof and bench for the away team. The home team has something like concrete block, roof, chain link in front and for ventilation, water fountain, juice bar, fans, the works. (Probably not that nice, but you can clearly tell...
If she has the right disposition, it would be great if she would become an umpire. Many umpires that I see are 70+.
While $30 per game isn't a ton of money, and you have to buy your gear, you can make what $300 on a weekend for many weekends per month, and do high school games.
That's...
My daughter's hitting coach has a star pupil (it's not her).
When scouts ask him about the drills and other things that he does to train to hit, he says that he "just hits." Pitched balls, he doesn't think about launch angles, etc., he just hits and hits and hits.
Sure tools will help; reps...
