With Signature softball lessons from Coach T the experiences will be unique and special.The sessions are capped out with small manageable numbers, and designed with your daughter

It’s not talent.

It’s not velocity.

It’s not even pitch count.

It’s preparation.

Number one?
Warm-ups.

Travel ball players show up an hour before game time.

College pitchers show up 2.5/3 hours early.

Let that sink in.

Three.

Hours.

They aren’t just “loosely stretching.”

They’re mentally preparing.
They’re starting mobility.
They’re doing arm care.
They’re getting their bodies awake.
They’re slowing the moment down before it ever speeds up.

Their bulllpen warm-up alone can last 60+ minutes… (emphasis on can, not always needed per pitcher)

Then bullpen.
Then mental prep.
Then breathing.
Then visualization.

They are never rushed.

And here’s the hard truth…

If you show up one hour before the game…
Don’t get your cleats on until 50 minutes before…
Have team warm-ups at the 45-minute mark…
Finish at 40…
Wait on the catcher…
And now you have maybe 25–30 rushed minutes to throw?

And your “warm-up” was the most basic jog-and-throw routine?

You cannot expect elite performance.

You just can’t.

I know travel ball isn’t perfect.
I know we don’t always control schedules.
I know 8 a.m. games are brutal.

But I’ll never forget this:

When I played on Georgia Impact Bass in 8th grade,
if we had an 8 a.m. game,
we were in the parking lot by 5:55 a.m.

Sometimes the lights didn’t even turn on until 7.

So what were we doing?

Band routine.
Stretching.
Mobility.
Getting our chatter out.
Mentally locking in.

The moment those lights flipped on, we were ready.

We were always the first at the ballpark.
Most of the time, the last to leave.

That wasn’t accidental.

That was expectation.

And that expectation prepared us for the next level long before we ever got there.

So my question is:

How much longer does this need to go on before we realize something needs to change?

If you say you want to pitch in college,
your preparation has to look different.

👇 I’m genuinely curious:

What time does your coach ask you to be at the field?

And in a perfect world,
how much time would you want to get loose mentally, physically, and emotionally?

Let’s talk about it.

This is one of my very first students from when I started offering pitching lessons as a career (2016) It's still a privilege to train her and witness her pitching journey. “Still”— ooooh what a word, especially if you think of it in the context of “Be still” 🙌🏼🙏.

We started together when she was in 12u, and now she’s my first “little” (meaning before learning to “spin it” and had to teach a better foundation/ under 12)
In college - She’s a JR now, and it's been a ride!
She’s about 5’2/3 ft
and throws in the 60s, with an RPM over 2400 on most pitches.
Every year there is hurdles of great improvement, that some elite level coaches never thought she'd get over….But she did!!
I’m so proud of you Deuce! Keep being yourself and defying the odds! You are HER! Love you, kid!
And thank you 🙏🫶🏼😉

There are some kids you teach, instruct, and guide... then there’s Avery. She embodies fierceness, grit, and grace. She challenges me to match her every lesson, to meet her exactly where she is—with boldness and kindness. She’s experienced tearful lessons, frustration, and those triumphant moments when you leave feeling unstoppable— “ especially if there’s Chick-fil-A” involved. Her energy and determination to excel and compete at such a young age are inspiring to witness and be a part of. She is undeniably a lion, not a lamb.

Ball 🥎🏀⚽️🏈⚾️🎾🏐ain’t life.

But it might just be the bridge to your kid’s heart.

Not every kid becomes elite.

But, every athlete deserves to grow through the game, and in their relationship with self.
