Softball Fastpitch TV Show

This episode is part 2 of a cinic on pre gane hitting by Todd Buckingham.

In this episode Todd breaks down each of his 30 minute hitting circuits. Todd has constructed 10 – 3 minute hitting stations that will target each area of a fastpitch softball players hitting technique. But remember, consistency is key, work on these stations in practice before trying to do them before a game. SoftballJunk.com is a great resource for fastpitch softball bats.

An important aspect to Todd's pre-game warm-ups for any fastpitch softball team, is making sure that each station is manned by a coach or someone to hold the player accountable for warming up correctly.

Tune in as Todd breaks down his Front toss, bottom hand/top hand tee, inside/outside tee, leg drive, mini ball, heavy ball and bunt stations. He also explains exactly what each station focuses on and how it helps improve batting performance.

This weeks video is hosted by Coach Ed Marcum and he is teaching about the Aggressive Hitters mindset. Every fastpitch softball coach teaches hitting a little different. Main thing for softball players and any athlete is to stay relaxed. The first thing in a swing is to drive the front elbow forward and make sure to stay inside the ball. The power comes from the hips; drive the back leg forward, knee to knee. Make sure that your fastpitch softball hitters stay in. Very important that the head does not go up and down. Coach Ed Marcum goes into more detail about the basics of hitting.

Repetition is extremely important. Confidence is the key of an aggressive hitter. Hitting is so mental and to do that the girls have to be confident in what they have done. They have to be a competitor. Athletes cannot be afraid to fail, they need to learn to compete and be disciplined. Know the umpire's strike zone. To be a good hitter you need to put in as much practice time as a pitcher puts in.

Produced by http://Fastpitch.TV - This week Courtney Scott talks about proper footwork for catchers.

Courtney Scott is the assistant softball coach at the University of Louisville. She talks about the firm base and how important it is to stay low. Catchers need to be comfortable. Coach Scott goes through the proper footwork to do a throw down to second. She talks about the pop and the transition is at the ear. The most important is so that the catchers are comfortable. One of the catchers that Coach Scott works with does a pivot throw. An issue she has is that she gets too wide of a base. Catchers that are not strong there is a step through motion that could work for them. There is also a throw from your knees. With a runner going to third make sure that you are clearing the batter by stepping behind or around the batter. Always a good idea to lead with your back foot, decreases the amount of steps that are needed. She also talks about proper footwork to pick up a bunt as well as blocking mechanics.

Produced by http://Fastpitch.TV - This week Courtney Scott talks about the importance of the drop ball.

Courtney Scott is the assistant softball coach at the University of Louisville. She talks about the importance of the drop ball for the fastpitch pitcher. The advantage of a good drop ball is that it keeps the ball in the park in an offensive game. Allows the runners to only advance base to base. There are four ways to throw it.

The peel drop, is the hardest to buy into but one of the most effective. You want to grab it on the "C" and put as many fingertips on the seam and as close together as you can. The reason for the "C" is to get on the four seams. It creates a strong spin. Don't see a ton of break with this pitch, it is working on its own, but it is very easy on the body and be disciplined with.

The next drop ball is the rolling peel. It is held the exact same way as the peel drop. You come through with a relaxed wrist and snap down.

The roll over is on the "U" versus on the "C". On the right side of the "U" and using pressure points on your fingers.

The last drop is the pull back. holding it the same as the peel drop. The difference is that you release it at your back hip. Full force is better to get through your body and all the way through to your catcher.

Produced by http://Fastpitch.TV - This week interview Coach Ninemire from Cal State..

This is an interview with Coach Diane Ninemire the head coach for the Cal Golden Bears. She graduated from University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1980. She played basketball and softball while in college. She continued her education at Texas Women's University in Denton, Texas. Coach Ninemire has wanted to be a coach since 4th grade. She played travel softball starting at age 10. She believes that youth should play many sports. She sees a lot of injuries of softball players that have over worked specific joints and muscles coming from playing softball all the time. She thinks they would see less injuries because you are using differnet joints and muscles, if softball/all athletes would play more than one sport. Coach Ninemeire has many softball accomplishments including 1,000 wins and winning the 2002 Women's College World Series. She says that team had a mission and a purpose. She believes that the will to win is more important than talent on the field. The moment that she will remember for the rest of her life will be during that WCWS top of the 7th against Arizona the score was tied 0-0. They had lead that inning off with a walk. Then with 2 outs proceeded to score 6 runs, to win the game. Coach Ninemire believes that young players really have to find their true passion, work hard and be dedicated. Do your best to reach your goals.
