Pitching Coach Amy Blakeney

Hey everyone!!

I just want to put out there. My virtual lessons are 5-8pm everyday, being in korea allows me to do lessons in the morning so I’m able to accommodate for everyday. Wanted to update on some things i have in the works if doing virtual lessons ends up working out. All of my lessons so far have been really great and I’m able to take the time needed, i can take videos and make notes and talk to my kids so it’s been really wonderful being able to do things that in person lessons don’t allow sometimes. Soon i will be able to do hitting lessons as well, when my softball equipment finally gets to us. But.. my goal is starting a Facebook group where i can post all of my videos and drills so that all of my people have unlimited access to them so your girls can see the videos and the breakdown of them at home. Im also deciding to use zoom and Facebook messenger for those doing lessons. Zoom allows me to do more things and share information with you, so that platform is more ideal then messenger but i have used Facebook so far and it works fine!! If anyone has questions about virtual please let me know. Until i get that Facebook group set up, i will use this page to update. If you’re wondering on what times are available as long as it is 5-8pm Monday—Friday, it’s open and you’re able to book on here like before!!

For those who have decided to not do virtual, please know i miss y’all so much and if you ever need me, I’m always a message away ❤️

Hey guys!!

I will be doing lessons Wednesday 5-8pm and Thursday 5-8pm

Right now i will be doing it through Facebook until i test out a few other video apps. If you’re wanting to book. Please message me for this week. Next week everything will be fixed out as far as what apps to download and things we will need for lessons. I’m very excited to get back at it, and i miss my girls ❤️

Hey guys!! Thank y’all so much for being patient with me. I haven’t forgotten anyone. We are without Wi-Fi right now but i should have it today and should be able to start lessons very soon!! For those still wanting to do lessons please reach out to me and give me some days and times you are available. Im a whole 14 hours ahead of you and im only going to do virtual lessons probably three days a week but i want to make sure i get everyone in who wants to continue!!

Again i apologize for it taking so long. There is almost no Wi-Fi on post and Wi-Fi isn’t free here so we have unfortunately been waiting on that.

Hey guys!! For those sticking with me for virtual. I should be up and running soon. This week has been a lot and we still have quite a bit of information to go through and process. We move into our home next Friday so i should either be running before or after that day but i will keep you updated. Thank you for those who have sent me photos and videos along the way. If you need anything in the meantime, please reach out!!

I will go ahead and post my schedule for next week and the following week!!

This is a warning that this post is going to be long and hard for me. I’ve been in tears writing this for hours. This is by far the hardest thing i have had to do. In November, Bruce received orders to Korea after a lot of fighting, ugly ugly crying, and denial that i was not going with him, i decided i would stay here. Giving up what i had here was never apart of the plan so i abandoned the idea of me ever going. As everyone knows in march i was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and still currently fighting for answers on other things. Being diagnosed put alot of things in perspective for me. One being if i stay here, I’m here without my husband who is by far my only support system besides my mother who needs to not have to worry about me. So i started the process with EFMP in july, totally thinking that i would not be accepted and denied Korea. Well, i have been approved as of August 10th and we are both headed to Korea, we will report sept 12th.
Let me just say that this has been the hardest 8 months of my entire life. I was fully prepared to leave my husband so that i didnt have to leave my girls behind. Some of you girls have been in my life for over 5 years and you are every bit apart of my family as i hope i am yours. I have cried happy and stressed tears about every single one of my girls and their growth as a athlete and a person. You all are so loved by me and i hope that every time i saw you, you felt that. My heart has been so full having every single one of you in my life. So as you can imagine this news is bitter sweet. I feel like I’m leaving with unfinished chapters in my life and it’s really hard to swallow right now. There are feelings that i can not even put into words. My emotions are all over the place. I’m sure everyone has a lot of questions and alot of things to figure out now. If i can help in anyway please let me know. I have decided to do virtual lessons and I’m here for those who would like to do virtually. For those searching for hitting and pitching instructors, please make sure that they stay current with teaching. That they are applying more than what they were taught but actually going out and doing the research and preparing you for what you need as an athlete not the cookie cutter mold that they want everyone to look like. Every athlete should look like their best version of themselves. Please make sure that your pitching instructor teaches Internal rotation AND they actually know and understand these techniques not just googled it. There will be signs that they don’t know what they are doing, please look for them don’t be comfortable and accept it, this is your athletes future. Shop around till you find the instructor best for your daughter. With that being said, I’m always ALWAYS here to help and i will always hope to be apart of your life and watch you grow even if only in the background. Lessons will finish August 30th as i will need to be out of the building and most of my items will be shipped to Korea. Please don’t let this be the end of me in your athletes life as i will always look and check in from time to time. I’ve never experienced heartbreak quite as big as I’m experiencing right now. I hope everyone understands and again if anyone has any questions or needs anything please let me know!! I love you all and i will always be a message away ❤️❤️
