For me it would be a collaborative effort: "What do you like about what you're currently doing?" "Have you ever tried _____?" "How did it feel?" "What do you think about _____?"

It is really heart breaking to hear the horror stories from college players. Pitchers running for several miles to get stronger. Need to have 7 pitches by spring. Totally changing all the spins they had success with until they're almost all bullet spin when they return for summer. Mandatory 20 minute long warm up with swinging the Xelerator, wrist snaps, K's at 90 with static legs, pitching from one knee, storks, walkthroughs, warming up all 7 spins from wrist snaps, spinner and moving back to full. All leaving little time to work full pitches to the catcher and feeling out of their groove. Did I mention some crazy pitch calling?

I dread those calls, texts, vacation visits and summer rebuilds...
Thanks for the panic attack...my DD was just shipped off to the NCAA and thanks to wholesale coaching changes we have no idea what's in store for her!
