Coach Lisle

Truth Tokens

🚨🥎⚾️ Soapbox Rant 🚨🥎⚾️

Last week at a recruiting/camp event, we had a time where the athletes asked coaches questions. In my 19 years of coaching, we get the same questions every time.

“What do you look for in a recruit?” “How do I stand out?”

Most coaches answered “attitude” “effort” “eye contact” “hustle”.

A young girl's hands went up and again she asked: “How do I stand out at events like this?””

This is how I answered: “To me…attitude, effort, eye contact, and hustle are the bare minimum. If you’re not doing those things you shouldn’t even be here. What stands out? Talent. Skills. If you’re a pitcher and you spin it better than anyone here or throw harder than anyone here..you stand out. If you’re a hitter and barrel up the ball more than anyone else, you’ll stand out. On defense, if you make the routine and tough plays and then you throw the ball harder than anyone in your group…you’re going to stand out. Talent and Tools is how you stand out.”

You could hear a pin drop.

Do not misunderstand. We LOVE athletes that love the game. We love the athletes that hustle and work hard and have a great attitude. We need athletes to have heart and grit but to compete at the highest level…you also need to have some SKILLS.

How much time do you spend on DEVELOPMENT? Do you spend more time playing games or practicing? What are you doing to get better when no one else is looking? Do you spend more time on Snapchat and Instagram than you do in the batting cages and field?

So I’ll ask you...How do YOU stand out?

SINGLE TRYOUT DATES ARE SET! Yes, we have monthly fees for indoor hitting, strength and conditioning. We also have guaranteed fields for weekend practices.
Paid Practices are managed and conducted by me, Sondi Muñoz. I played at the collegiate level and coached for over a decade. My passion is softball, almost an obsession 🤫 lol. Elite is looking for athletes that eat, breath, and dream about softball. If that’s your daughter, we are the club for her!

PRACTICE TRYOUTS IN NOV! The hardest part about finding a club team is making sure the athlete is the best fit for the team and the team is the best fit for the athlete. Practice tryouts help manage expectations for both the athlete and parents. The athlete gets to experience what being on the team would be like. Camaraderie, coach expectation , open positions, etc are all important when selecting a team. Contact me for info on practice tryouts 😁

Ahhhhh! AMAZ-BALLS! Loving the Elite Slides!

Who got the winning scratcher?

Now this one made me think.... Im Sondi Muñoz, I’m the director and owner of Elite Softball Training. I am the ONLY softball driven facility in NM. I do not own a baseball. I say that with pride not to brag. I have had many coaches come into my program and I’ve never held back information to make them or the girls successful. I have always coached to pour knowledge into the minds of those who have partnered with me. The sad truth is many will leave, many will think they’ve learned enough and can do it themselves. This doesn’t stop me from sharing the thing I’m passionate about and call my life. Because the TRUTH is it’s not about THEM or ME. It’s about the GIRLS.

😂😂😂

The hard part about softball not many talk about or can relate to... I’m not gonna lie it gets harder in college. I remember being in class maybe 2 days out of the week consecutively..... week after week while in season. You find ways to get homework done on a bus rides at night after a 2 day double header. You want so much to sleep but you stay up until 12:00 then just to get up for morning workouts at 5:30am. This is why only 1-5% make it, this is why many don’t make it all 4 years of eligibility. You’ll want to hang out with your friends instead of doing your project. “Just remember to set aside small desires to achieve your big dreams”. You didn’t prepare more than half your life to give it up because sitting on the couch chatting with your buddies was worth more to you. THINK ABOUT IT.....

10u Monster Smash Champions!

Elite Quicksilver won 1st in Monster Smash Tournament this weekend. So proud of all of you!

SMART SOFTBALL TECHNOLOGY

It’s hard to teach what pitchers can’t see

Pitchers relay on catchers and coaches to interpret what their pitches are doing and how they are moving through the zone.

Typical conversation between pitcher and a catcher.....
Pitcher: 𝓓𝓲𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓹𝓲𝓽𝓬𝓱 𝓫𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴?
Catcher: 𝓨𝓪𝓱
Pitcher: 𝓞𝓴, 𝓱𝓸𝔀 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓹𝓲𝓷 𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓴?
Catcher: 🤷🏼‍♀️

What is the smart softball?
1️⃣Measures velocity
2️⃣Spin rate and
3️⃣Spin direction replay

Why are these numbers important?

✅ Helps pitcher with spin visual feedback for mechanical improvement
✅ Helps measure improvement in velocity and spin rate
✅ Helps athlete set goals

Add smart softball analysis to your pitching class or lesson, $20 fee!

You must have pitch tracker app downloaded, present at class or lesson and an account made for your daughter.
LINK PROVIDED UPON REQUEST

Proud of these girls!

This weekend, these girls played their way into the GOLD 🏅 bracket of the Halloween Fastpitch Invitational 🎃 and walked away with a SILVER RING🥈after a close loss to Wicked in the championship game. Not too shabby for a first year team with girls who are still developing field chemistry. Way to go, QuickSilver!!! 🏆

'It takes a toll': Campaign shines light on mental health of coaches

Thank a coach

smh.com.au It can be a lonely and thankless task but a new campaign hopes to start a discussion about the welfare of coaches and the price many pay for the dedication.

MONSTER SMASH TOURNAMENT SHIRT
PREORDER ONLY
$20 T-shirt $25 Long sleeve. All orders need to be placed by 10:00pm Sunday October 20th.

Not all pitchers are created ⒺⓆⓊⒶⓁ! Like I’ve mentioned before I still pitch to my AthElites, whether they are on my club team or my client.
I’m not a big fan of pitching machines. They have a purpose but I can supply my girls with game realistic pitching. They learn to read spins, experiment with timing, get comfortable in the batters box and see different types of the “same” pitch. Example: Screwballs 2 kinds - Door knob or turn over. (Yes I can pitch both)
I’m a true believer in continuing to experiment with your craft. I can relate to the girls the most because I still feel the ball off my fingers daily and can’t forget.... I was once them.
Can anyone tell me which pitch(s) is in video below? 😉👇🏻

⚠️ATTENTION PITCHERS⚠️ Do your hips start to bother you after bullpens? ME TOO! Could be due to over active imbalance. I’m 33 and still throw 1500-2000 pitches weekly. I will do counter active exercises such as this Split squat with long leg extension. 📩 NOTE I ONLY DO OPPOSITE OF MY MOTION. For example I’m a RHP so I push in extension with right leg and I lift with my left leg in a high knee motion. I do 3 sets of 10 ONLY in this position I DO NOT switch legs. This helps my right leg get into knee bend and my left leg in extension. This is one of my favorite exercises. What helps you stay balanced?

Burned forever in my mind, the girl on the left she will always be. She is truly the one who believed in me just as much as I believed in her. We grew up together in this crazy softball world. I had the honor of doing her college recruiting video and I never thoughts this day would be here so quickly. Mari, you helped me become me just as much as I help you become You. Thank u

Mind Game of Softball - The Game of “What If”

In Athletes Minds:
“What If I strike out?”
“What If I missed the ball?”
“What If I fail?”
❗️BUT ❗️...... “What IF” we can gain POWER 💪🏻 by changing our mind frame or the way we use self talk?

“WHAT IF” I swing hard and hit a Homerun?

“WHAT IF” I dive and make an amazing catch?

“WHAT IF” I SUCCEED?

Now these sound like something worth taking risks for! The Game of “What IF” is now driven by excitement not fear. #elitesoftballtraining #softball #girlssoftball #elitethinking

Testing out “best fitting” pants in the game. They are like leggings so they contour to the girls hips, legs and 🍑 . Hoping the girls will like these for next season. #bellaleteteams #elitesoftballtraining
