"If you coach softball you should take advantage of the knowledge Cindy Bristow is offering through Softball Excellence. I have been involved in fast pitch softball for more than 35 years as a player and coach, and she is the most knowledgeable coach I have worked with.

The material she produces is direct, to the point, and easy to absorb."

Associate Director Georgia High School Association "There is a ton of information out there, but I couldn't really tell what was good and what was just selling. Someone recommended softball excellence as a sight for information. I checked it out and have done all the eclinics and bought several hard back books and drills. You are very good at explaining this wonderful sport. You put it all in common sense terms and use video and pictures very well. - Thanks again!" - Dee Swartz
Fastpitch Softball mom/coach "I just wanted to write and thank you for the outstanding clinic last weekend. Ive attended many coaching clinics with the likes of Bob Knight, Coach K., Rick Pitino, Doug Collins, Larry Brown, and I have to say that your thoughts and philosophies were every bit as insightful, valuable, and entertaining as were these coaching legends. Thank you also for all that you do and have done for the great game of fastpitch softball and our athletes." - Mike Maguire

And That something is TIMING. To help your players get their timing while on-deck, they should vividly imagine they're standing in the batter's box hitting off of this pitcher, and figuring out just when they'll need to start their stride and when they'll bring their hands through. Since every pitcher has a different speed it's tough to say they should stride when the pitcher strides. The on-deck circle is for figuring out both your timing with this pitcher as well as the pitcher's favorite zone - Up, down, in or out. Here's a simple list of questions your on-deck hitters should be answering before they get into the batter's box:
Do your equations on-deck so you know both of these when stepping into the batter's box! For more information on hitting check out our Hitting eSkill, Hitting eDrills, Tee Stackers and Hitting Disks. |
