"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. Cindy's basic approach to teaching sound fundamentals, without a bunch of gimmicks, will greatly assist in the preparation of your players to compete physically and mentally. 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

When Infielders Should Use the Spin-ThrowBy: Cindy BristowWhen should your infielders make a normal throw to a base and when should they turn their body all the way around to make a throw (a spin-turn)? Using a spin-throw really depends on where your infielder is when she fields the ball and what direction she is moving. If your infielder gets to the ball pretty fast she should have enough time to turn to her throwing-side to throw. This type of throw allows her o stay facing the target as long as possible. Just make sure she moves her feet quickly and both her front foot and front shoulder point right at the base before the throw. But, if she gets to a ball late, or its on her glove-side a spin turn will be better. This means that your infielder will turn her back to the target by turning into her glove in order to make the throw. Be sure her front foot and front shoulder point at the base before the throw. Check out the various ways to help improve your players throwing. |
