    People don’t realize this is pure gold - a crucial adjustment that will significantly improve their throwing. We’ve been on many SB select teams, and I have yet to hear ANY of the coaches correct or teach the girls proper throwing technique. I see so many kids still throwing that weird upright-side-elbow whip or as you said just lifting their hand upwards to throw at 14u level. If they still make the play then I figure the coaches and their parents probably think there is nothing to fix. However, 2 girls on two of our different teams had extreme shoulder and elbow pain according to their parents - we did notice tears and ice many times, and not a coincidence that they threw in a very “unique” elbow-whipping motion. I feel so bad for them, but don’t feel right to approach the parents and say “their throwing is causing injury.” I’ve brought the topic up in very casual ways, but some softball parents aren’t too receptive to criticism. Forwarding this video to the group chat might be the safest thing 😅.
    Thank you again for your vids

    I appreciate your videos more than words can express. I am starting up a softball program and your catalog has become great content to share with my girls. Coming from coaching 3U-10U baseball it's a great difference. I have to go reteach my girls throwing now. I have been trying to figure out how to correct pushing vs throwing. Thank you Dan.

    And is it true taking that extra step before you throw gives you more momentum in the throw

    Is there a video of you actually throwing the ball? This was very good but I’d like to see examples.

    This video changed my 8 year old daughters throw immediately. Not bringing your arm up rather pulling back with the scapula. Thank you!

    Great video, but I think it would be helpful to see you actually throw the ball.

    At 1:07 you mention our throwing arm should pull back behind our body.. some people think that may put a lot of pressure on your shoulder and can cause injury, any thoughts on this or is that false?

      go watch any pro baseball player throw and you'll see that 100% of them do it like I demonstrate. make a decision for yourself on the matter.
