Sequencing the Hitting Process
The statement, "The hardest thing to do in athletics is to hit a ball while it is moving toward you with significant speed," is overused to emphasize what we hitters consider to be a natural act. However, in the true essence of this statement, "The hardest thing to do in fastpitch softball is to consistently move the ball with authority," It is hard enough to hit the fastpitch softball when it is moving up, down, in, out, and sometimes around the zone, but to hit for average and power takes so much dedication. For all hitters who are working towards that ultimate goal, I subscribe to the mental philosophy that has been passed on from good hitting coaches, the "5 Ps":
1. Patience
2. Perseverance
3. Practice
4. Practice
5. Practice

Teaching Youth Pitching in Games
Jacquie Joseph, Head Softball Coach
Michigan State University
Don’t be intimidated! Throwing an underhand fast pitch looks a lot harder to teach than it is. Like teaching and coaching any other sport or position, be confident. Kids will pick up on your fear or lack of confidence. Learn as much as you need in order to teach the level you are working with and then grow with the players. You do not need to be an expert, able to work with a top college player, to teach an 8 year old to pitch. Learn the basics to get them on the correct path, then make a commitment to keep learning as you go. For those parents who are coaching their own child, be aware there may be a time when it is best to turn her over to someone else.
