Great video! I have a group of ankle draggers! They tend to not be strong enough

[@Jackie-lk7dq]

Awesome video! Thank you!! Do you have any push to pivot videos/drills?

[@VirtualSoftball]

We have many more ideas on improving the push to pivot part of the motion- check out our members at www.FastpitchOnlineAcademy.com

Awesome video, and though experienced it was refreshing to hear theories I preach here on the Philippines Junior National Teams. One of the biggest that I constantly hear here, prompted by a certain level of macho, is "jump farther", out to that circle. And then it must be the girls fault that she has slowed down 5mph once she got out to 8 feet. They just don't get it that arm speed is tied into stride length (time). Rachel Garcia has pitch speed because she gets on top of her front foot quickly. An issue I also face here is pitching to corners. I had a former National Team coach tell me he tells the girls to adjust their release 1/8 of an inch to change corners, seemingly pre-empting any need for balance. I tell the coaches here to preach "line-of-force", driving everything, stride, arms, arm circle, step, and front hip into the catcher's glove and have created drills for it. Maybe you could touch on that issue a little. I teach everything, and I am not specifically a pitching coach here, just the general all skills coach.

Teaching people to pitch illegally (even if it's not often called) is one way to make a living, I guess.

Great, great video! Thank you!

If you are a teacher then surely you know what a replant is

[@blevins25]

Kelly Barnhill replant

[@VirtualSoftball]

Thanks Yes I do - I also know what all the fastest pitchers at the college world series look like.

[@blevins25]

@@VirtualSoftball well Fouts was the fastest this year and she doesn’t replant like Barnhill or Gabby Plaine.

[@docsmith8674]

@@VirtualSoftball then you know it's illegal, don't be stupid. Have some integrity and protect the game.

[@VirtualSoftball]

@@docsmith8674 I prefer to keep this a positive discussion and not call people stupid. I work for my clients to get them scholarships- I don’t work for the game of softball. My clients are my priority. My pitchers are not called illegal in games. Perhaps our sport needs to look at the rules and be consistent with what is called on the field and what is written in the rule book.

Please stop teaching this. Blatantly illegal.
