Putting on a Clinic
Here’s a tip from acclaimed softball instructor, Coach Bobby Waterbury of Waterbury Fastpitch Softball.
Softball Pitching is …
• Fun! The pitcher is involved on every play.
• Responsibility! There is responsibility to be as good as we can be for
ourselves and
for our parents. There is responsibility to be as good as
we can be for our teammates
who are counting on our performance. There
is individual responsibility to be motivated
to practice on our own,
without having to be told.
• Leadership! Everyone on the field is looking at every move the pitcher
makes and they
imitate what they see.
• Teamwork with our parents! Pitching works better if our parents are
involved and we
accept their guidance in all that we do.
A pitcher’s most important job is to use all of the physical and mental
tools that she has to get batters out.
