Fastpitch Softball Lessons and Clinics

Why are coaching credentials important?
Two of the most alarming problems in youth sports today are burnout and unnecessary injuries
caused by improper mechanics, overuse, or poor training techniques. Each year excellent young
players leave fastpitch softball either because they are burned out from youth sports or have
developed chronic injuries due to poor mechanics and/or overuse.
Though many well intentioned people claim to be “pitching coaches” and “hitting coaches,” very
few of these "coaches" have studied and understand the physiological, psychological, and
psychosocial aspects of youth development - especially as these issues pertain to young women.
A solid understanding of these important areas as well as an understanding of human growth and
development is critical to your daughter’s continued development and success. Coaches with
solid academic credentials can help eliminate injuries caused by poor mechanics or overuse,
minimize burnout, and help ensure that your daughter stays has a chance to maximize her
potential.
