Don’t be THAT person who WAITS until a college coach requests a video.

BE PREPARED! If you CAN NOT confidently return a skills video request with in a couple of days the college coaches attention will go to someone who does HAVE A VIDEO.

PITCHING - Working power line landing

Not all angles are created equal! Make sure you take a moment to have your pitching coach or parent video the athlete from behind. I didn’t see this cross over issue until I evaluated her motion from the back. As you can see from the video she crosses over the power line but comes back on top of power line. It can be deceiving especially from the front. Stay efficient! 

CATCHERS! We need you! Contact me if you’re interested in a tryout 505-331-6762

An 🐘 never forgets. Thank you to all who have stuck with me through the worst nightmare I could have ever experienced in my small business world 🌎 I can say these things for sure.... my vision is clear, my tolerance is low and fear doesn’t even exist in my vocabulary anymore. Wow that’s power.

By the Grace or God and some really dedicated athletes and parents we only need to add 2 spots on 12u after COVID19 took over our lives. Our AthElites have done endless self practicing, conditioning, home workouts and ZOOM training for over 2 months. Be apart of a program that continues to find ways to train even when the worst has happened. Contact Sondi Muñoz for a tryout. 505-331-6762

[05/20/20]   Our Softball AthElites need your help! Our mission is to create a learning and competitive environment to help catapult girls to achieving their goal in obtaining a college softball scholarship. With COVID19 many athletes can not afford training fees imperative to getting the most qualified trainers and resources to making them prime candidates. We also have a “fund an athlete” program and are thankful for any amount that can be donated.

Pitching Drill of the Week 🚨 - Lift and Drive

🚨Pitching Drill of the Week 🚨 - Lift and Drive

𝙴𝚚𝚞𝚒𝚙𝚖𝚎𝚗𝚝 𝚗𝚎𝚎𝚍𝚎𝚍...

PVC pipe or broom 🧹 stick

𝙿𝚞𝚛𝚙𝚘𝚜𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙳𝚛𝚒𝚕𝚕:
Allowing the arms to lead momentum

𝙴𝚇𝙰𝙼𝙿𝙻𝙴
“Leaping over a puddle”
Bend the legs - Swing the arm back then creating forward swing with the arms then firing the legs

𝙲𝚘𝚞𝚙𝚕𝚎 𝚘𝚏 𝙺𝚎𝚢 𝙿𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚝𝚜 𝚝𝚘 𝙵𝚘𝚌𝚞𝚜 👀 𝙾𝚗
1️⃣ Keep arms waist width apart on PVC pipe
2️⃣ When you are lifting the right hand - which is ball hand in my case b/c I am a RHP - should come to the center over your land leg (my left leg) on the power line
3️⃣ My glove hand - left arm should be pointing down the outside corner

Check out this 7 year olds SWING!

These 2 videos were take 4 months apart! Undeniably Amazing IMPROVEMENT!
First 2 months I was training Eli at my facility
Past 2 months During Quarantine

Young athletes are extremely intelligent. I coach the same mechanics to my 7 year old that I do my 18 year olds. 𝚆𝚑𝚢 𝚠𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍𝚗'𝚝 𝙸❓❗️
Isn’t it the same swing Philosophy? 

YES I have to break it down

YES I have to give them more examples

YES SHE needs to put in the work, Period.

🛑 assuming they can’t understand the concepts

✅ Find more creative ways to explain

Zoom Lessons

Zoom lessons can be intimidating but if I could show you how simple it is... would you invest? Athletes are either using this down time to MAXIMIZE 💪🏻 THEIR POTENTIAL or simply maintaining or even worse digressing! 🙈 
Things that are the same as personal lessons
1️⃣ I still watch you 👀
2️⃣ I still interact with u 🗣
3️⃣ I still listen to u 👂🏻
4️⃣ I can still show you 🏃‍♀️

ONLY THING I CAN’T DO IS RIGHT NOW THROW A BALL TO YOU 🥎

WOW! Doesn’t sounds so bad now, huh? 🙂

PITCHING DRILL OF THE WEEK

🚨 PITCHING DRILL 🚨 PDOW (pitching drill of the week) I like to use a 3LB medicine ball or you can just use body weight - Start at the mound then lunge backwards RHP- (right handed pitchers) Drop left leg then drop right leg. The goal is to create a slightly less than 90 degree angle when in the lunge position and bring the knee to ground. If the athlete creates more than 90 degrees the following may occur 1️⃣ The chest will hinge too far forward causing rounding of the back 2️⃣ You may end up losing balance 3️⃣ Lastly, the glutes and hamstrings will not be engaged or working muscles which are MOST IMPORTANT. Then lunge forward back to the pitching rubber and focus on driving forward and up through push while dragging the top of the pitching toe. Let me know what you think!

“Excuses will always be there for you, opportunity won’t.” Finding ways to be successful no matter what you currently are dealt with. No agility ladder? Get chalk.. no chalk? Get tape! Mix it up use a broom, a rake, a darn crack in the cement! My childhood didn’t allow me to accept boundaries. This is a perfect opportunity to teach our children that we have control over our actions.

“PDOW” PITCHING DRILL OF THE WEEK

🚨PITCHING DRILL 🚨 HARDER THAN IT LOOKS!
This is a lift and hold drill- Notice my left leg has knee bend and toe is pointing to the sky. I hold my balance for 2 seconds after I’ve thrown the ball.

PITCHING is like magic 🧝🏻‍♀️ It’s the Art of Deception. Making strikes look like balls and balls look like strikes. This overlay video is giving us feedback on curve ball and screwball “breaking points” (meaning when the ball starts to move into a different direction). We were working on making the ball look like it was heading down the middle to entice a batter to swing. Then while the batter creates commitment the ball then changes direction.

BIG SHOUT OUT 🗣 to Melaleuca company who has protected our business by supplying us with necessary products to disinfect our facility. I am forever grateful to be a customer and continue to share your amazing products. Thank you especially in time of need.
This is the only place we can purchase hands sanitizer! 👏🏻

HITTING RISERS AND DROP BALLS

Preparation on Riser and Drop ball contact points. Can u see that 90% of her swing is consistent? Stay same 👉🏻 Load - Step - Hip rotation
Change 👉🏻 Back Elbow lead- Extension - Contact point
The more consistent you are with your lower half, it allows you to make vital changes for your hands to attack the ball in the zone.

Thank you Cibola LL for allowing us to come coach the girls!
