Franklin, WI. Girls fastpitch pitching coach. Internal Rotation / Whip / Forearm Fire
Keychain for Jessa today!
Putting the upper body and lower body together for the correct timing is HARD. Jessa is getting better and better at this aspect of pitching!
We got Nora using those legs today!
The legs whip the arm... the legs whip the arm... the LEGS whip the arm.
When you have good form, and you're stuck on a certain number, you HAVE to recruit the legs!!
🙂👍🥎🔥
Rylie Rylie Rylie. This girl is looking good!
Today we worked on freezing and holding that finish- position. If we don't have our legs and feet in the right positions at the end, then we fix it quick and then hold that for 2 seconds. This gives our brain feedback that THIS is the position we want to end in. The more we do that *fix* the sooner our bodies with end that way on their own.
Keep it up girl 🙂👍🥎⚡️
Once you "sync" you will see your list of upcoming session. You can also reference the old app for now. But all new scheduling is done on the new app! All of November is open and January moving forward will be on a 6 week-ahead rolling schedule.
I posted this on my personal page a year ago and it seems right to share it here! ❤️❤️
Attention pitchers: THIS is how high I want your kick!!
Not only does it help with power (pitch speed) but it's vital for timing of upper and lower body (strike zone)!!
I wish I had even a single picture of myself pitching when I was young. I hope these girls cherish the pictures and videos they have of themselves. ❤️❤️
Slow motion videos are a great teaching tool inside lessons... and they also afford us amazing and inspiring pictures like these! I love your hard work Liberty!
❤️🥎🙂🙃
The new lesson location with loud music is working for Tatum!
Three mechanical improvements inside one lesson gets you a PR!
🔥🥎❤️🌩⚡️
Elli is coming IN H-O-T!!
She's an upper 10U!
The reason she can keep jumping higher on the radar (besides height and strength) is bc her mental game is great. She shakes things off and is hardly rattled. This is a must for a pitcher.
❤️❤️🥎🥎🔥🔥
Remember in Cars when Lightning McQueen is learning to drift and they say "turn right to go left... turn right to go left"? Well in lessons today, my plan was "slow down to go faster."
Slow down and do all the drills. Slow down between drills. Freeze at the end of each and check your form... fix if needed... freeze again.
"Slow down to go fast."
Bam. PR for Miss Addison.
🔥🥎❤️🤩👍
Kara Kara. She hugs me everytime she gets to lessons and I just love it. She got herself a picture today! Two more mph and she'll get herself a keychain!
👍❤️🤩🥎🔥
Meet Emily. Emily's an over achiever. She only needed 46mph for a PR, but she got 47mph. Be like Emily. ❤️🤣
🙂🙂
Pitching is a sport inside of a sport. No easy way to get there. I'm willing to teach if you're willing to practice! 🙂🙃
Violet had practice, then a pitching lesson! PR for her today after some weighted ball work, and drills for explosiveness and power!
Well done!
Nora has pink hair and a new PR!
Hey girl hey.
LJ got herself a new haircut and a keychain today!
She's so poised and in control of her mechanics these days! And she's only been pitching 3 months!!
Besides my own daughters, Natalie is the pitcher I've had the longest. ❤️🤩🥎
Today I said a phrase she's never heard before, "You're too tall!" 🤣🤣 (you and me both, girl) We worked on low launch angle and BAM, a PR!

Jessa got the first PR in the new location! Hey girl!
1 more MPH and she's gets a keychain!
Her whip is getting better and we're getting those legs working!
Legs whip the arm. Read that again: LEGS whip the arm.
The arm is the delivery mechanism for power generated from the legs.
🥎🔥💪🥰
T minus one day! New location!!
Bringing equipment in today and tomorrow!!
Lessons open tonight at 7pm for all the extra days I'll have in Nov! (Plus some spots in Oct.)
Reminder:
NO LESSONS TONIGHT
Today never had open lessons.
Next week we're at the new place!!
Pitching parents - Ignore any automatic emails with session cancelation/rescheduling. I'm changing things over to the new location. NOTHING new is being charged to your account, only lateral moves. Self-scheduling will be open again toward the end of the week. You'll be able to do any rescheduling or extra scheduling at that point.
Waitlisted pitching parents - You'll be hearing from me soon if you haven't already!
