Softball Pitching: The Importance of the Bucket Drill

[@TaylorJeff-g9q]

FYI..I've spent hours on here trying to find a video that shows more than arm motion and legs. You are the first to show grips and drills ..thank u

[@amandascarborough]

Glad I could help 😊

[@wilrivera4190]

love the approach. i teach pitching and ALWAYS say teach the pitcher, NOT the pitching. there are solid universals and some things that just work for different pitchers. Ive seen the exact video you're talking about and it just seems like she had seen someone that cant spot certain areas in need of work. I have girls that need the beam and some that don't. Ive had girls that benefit TREMENDOUSLY off the bucket and some that need more work in pronation. either way you're spot on Amanda and teaching pitching is truly something that needs to come from somebody with the merit to do so.

Amanda, thank you first off for these awesome videos and for finally making your own youtube channel! I have personally been a fan of your since your Texas A&M days! Now my 13 year old daughter is playing 14U travel. She used to pitch about 8 months ago and gave it a break. She noticed one day i was watching some of your pitching technique videos she instantly wanted to watch everything you made. She watched all of your videos on your channel and other channels and thanks to you shes committed back into pitching and playing middles. So again thank you very much! You help inspire us coaches and daughters alike! Great Videos and we look forward to the next ones!

Yessssss!!!! It strengthens the push off leg & hip!

[@amandascarborough]

Exactly!

[@GhostlyPiper]

thank you so much I have been struggling with pitching and your dirls are amazing to me they helped so much

[@InterfaceDeath]

Thanks for making these videos. I have modeled my daughter's motion and approach off of yours since you both share a similar body build. She has excelled very well in her pitching the last 2 years. I am looking forward to 2020.

[@amandascarborough]

Interface Death love that I could help the past two years! Looking forward to continuing to help her! I have some new things coming out in the upcoming months!

[@gregoryfunk9083]

Amanda, thanks a ton for all the videos. I’m coaching my daughter who is new to pitching and I’m new to softball. Thanks again !

[@HawkJ88]

Same here. I never realized how much was involved with softball pitching it's incredible how many steps there are. Thanks for your videos Amanda.

[@mariapaloma1878]

Awesome drill

[@pakaornellas3361]

Pretty cool 🤙

[@1crazyredneck]

Question. Do you hold your breath thru your pitch? Like deep inhale just before your launch and then hold all the way thru. Do you have a particular breathing routine before each pitch?

[@jessicaluna1574]

Do you think a 5'2 girl can be an effective pitcher?

[@amandascarborough]

YES YES YES!

[@deebee9917]

defiantly

[@matthewdennin9252]

Yeah

[@garretj6356]

For sure

[@danmeier9645]

Thank you for all your help. Question. As the pitching arm starts coming down do you recommend ball up or ball down. I have seen you do both.

[@amandascarborough]

Hey there! Sometimes it depends on the pitch, but I usually recommend a handshake position. A little more up is better than down. 👍🏼

[@NBA2kcoach]

I like it

[@alberttobeck6527]

Wondering if you actually are in the Cedar Park area, if so is it possible to have one on one pitching lessons for my 11 year old daughter, if so that would be amazing. Also have a 11year old who is willing to be in some of your videos for instructions as well if you ever need to have someone you can give instructions to help break it down if you are open to the idea. These videos are really helpful.

[@amandascarborough]

I am in the area!! I do not give in person lessons, so sorry!! Will definitely keep you guys in mind if I need more pitchers in my videos!

[@wccohn]

Do you recommend pelvic protection?

[@deebee9917]

think you turned out more than ok....lol... great drill btw
