Hi Amanda. Thanks for all the videos. My 13 year old daughter is pitching and we've found them immensely helpful in improving.

You teaching style is awesome. You explain things more clearly and simply than anyone else we've found out there and your tips for how to practice executing on the concepts you teach are wonderfully clear.

If you so desire, I expect you'll have a great and long career after your done playing. Teaching the next generation.

This super helped my 9yo understand power from her legs. Thanks for what you do lady. 💯

I think you will help me a lot because softball sign ups are gonna be here soon so I think this is good advice to practice this stuff.
As long as I have been playing softball for 3 years I have never seen such a good player like you before.

Thank you so much for teaching me these amazing softball stuff I play on a team called wildcats and I love being with my team!!! Also this will help me with my pitching 😂😂 lOL I need to work in it

[ShelbiWelsh]

Thank you, Amanda! These have helped me so much! I never really pitched. I pitched one game inning when I was 12 and haven't since. Now I'm 17 and my coach is making me pitch in the spring. So I'm practically starting from square one. It's a huge and difficult change coming from outfield since I was 4 to pitching, but your videos have made it easier!

wow those were some really helpful tips thank you so much

[rilynngail]

Amanda I just want to say thank you. This hwlpwd me to much for being a pitcher on rock springs Wyoming. I am going down to itah to play not and I need as much power that I can get.

[michaelschilk]

This is great Amanda thank you. How many repetitions and how many times a week do you recommend?

[haleyz-kid]

Amanda,
This is really helpful for getting the power behind my legs. I saw this video last season and it helped throughout the spring. But I'm having trouble with driving my legs. Basically I'm getting all this power and it's going nowhere. Is there a drill that I could do that will help me drive my back leg?
Thanks so much!

Hi Amanda. I have been searching for a new drill to get just a little more explosion from my drive leg and propulsion from my landing leg. This drill really seems to have the potential to do that. Once I get more comfortable from a balance perspective, I hope to practice the drill off of my Power Drive for more of a challenge. Thanks for the tip!
 Now if you have any tips for how to improve my turn over drop, I am all ears. Improving that pitch this year before I start college is my primary goal.
 Thanks for all that you do for the softball community.













hi

[aubreyhallett]

Im only 11 and im in fastpitch but we got taught to have our hand on the ball in the glove to start down by the balder and come up then separate our hands and then pitch but thats just how i got taught

[samyboylazc]

Thanks Amanda, In some way I ended up to watch your videos, and guess what?. Not for softball (that I wish I can learn how to play), but for my racquetball swing. I am looking for drills and to get more power in my arm-shoulder as well as I can see the explosiveness of the hip.Thanks for the great tips I received from your videos. BTW I watched your right leg then your left and I got disconnected LOL. You're gorgeous ! :)

Whenever I pitch I always throw my arm out because I'm relying too much on my arm circle for power and not my legs. How do I prevent this from always happening

[darrentrotto]

Hey Amanda its Mr. Trotto from middle school

[annabedwell]

when i pitch i stick my butt out and i'm not standing tall how do i prevent this??

[diggerdoug]

What i don't like is your back arm swing. It is not nessasary and has no benefits.
