You may already know this, but many of my blogs are inspired by some great questions that have been asked during lessons or via email. So keep those questions coming since they benefit everyone!!!! Recently, a parent asked about cross-training during the season. This is such a great question because we don't want to START [...]
Many of you may already know that my mother-in-law passed away early in March. It was something that I have since spent a lot of time reflecting on. It really got me thinking about the word, "Legacy." A legacy is something that is handed down from one generation to the next. I think that it [...]
Yes, I love the fact that many of my pitchers have won prestigious awards and have gone on to have successful collegiate careers. I don't consider collecting accolades to be must first responsibility to them, though. I don't even think it should be my second responsibility to them. My first priority is to ensure that [...]
I had a big goal before the clock struck midnight on the last day of 2018: My goal was to let go of my most recent book (The Best Self-Help Book Ever Written), and just get it published already. This was easier said than done. For those of you who know me, I do have [...]

This young athlete was not one of my students, but my heart broke just the same. I realize that this is not a topic that many people are comfortable discussing. [...]
I think that most of you realize that you need some time away from softball during the offseason to avoid overuse injuries and mental burnout. This break also provides an opportunity for you to reconnect with your family and friends since you probably haven't been seeing much of them except when they are driving you [...]
You've just come off of a pretty intense run: you have had (mostly) nonstop softball since the preseason in January, and now you are finishing up your final fall tournaments and showcases. So what do you need to do? You need to make an actionable game plan that will leave you balanced, well-rested, and ready [...]
