Brandi Harrison Hitting & Defense

Thank you Turlock National Little League! Great turnout and even better athletes...the future looks bright for these little ballers 😎🥎

What a weekend at Hilmar Stevinson Softball! 🥎🔥
This past weekend I had the opportunity to work with an incredible group of athletes, and let me tell you… the future of softball is BRIGHT. 💫
We really honed in on the fundamentals of defense and hitting — breaking everything down to the small details that make a BIG difference. On defense, we focused on athletic ready positions, quick first steps, proper glove angles, staying low through the ball, and making strong, accurate throws. Watching these girls attack every ground ball and communicate with confidence was so fun to see. 💪🏼🥎
At the plate, we dialed in on stance, balance, hand path, and driving through the softball. We worked on staying connected, using the lower half, and finishing strong through contact. You could see the lightbulb moments happening —That’s what it’s all about! 💥✨
More than anything, I’m proud of their focus, coachability, and love for the game. They asked questions, encouraged each other, and showed up ready to work. If they continue to build on these fundamentals, their future in the game of softball is going to be something special. ❤️🥎
Keep grinding, girls — this is just the beginning!

BHHD ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT 🥎🔥
From 9 years old with big dreams and a glove almost as big as her… to competing at the Division I level. 💪🏽
Mack Hough is the definition of TRUST THE PROCESS.
Mack plays at Wagner College where she dominates behind the plate as a catcher and also holds it down on the corners. But what makes this one special to me… I’ve had the privilege of working with Mack since she was just nine years old. I’ve watched her grow, struggle, adjust, learn, lead, and REFUSE to quit.
There were tough practices.
There were slumps.
There were moments she could have walked away.
But she didn’t.
She kept showing up. She kept working. She kept believing. And now she’s living out what she once dreamed about as a little girl. 🖤
Mack’s message to all young athletes:
“Never give up!” The hard days are part of the journey. Keep working even when no one is watching.
Let this be your reminder – the athlete you want to become is built in the unseen reps, the extra swings, the late nights, and the early mornings. Stay patient. Stay hungry. Stay coachable.
I am beyond proud of you, Mack. Your journey is proof that consistency wins. 🥎🔥
