The Fastpitch Power System

1. Before you can be superhuman, you must first be human.

In order to prevent injury, it is extremely important to develop a normal range of motion before subjecting your body to the demands of advanced athletic movements—and this can only be achieved through strength training. We highly recommend getting evaluated by a professional trainer, and balancing your pitching training with workouts targeting your personal motion restrictions.

2. We obey the laws of physics.

You may play against, or see on TV, highly successful pitchers who do not utilize the same mechanics you will learn through our program. That’s OK! There are many girls who have natural strengths that allow them to pitch a certain way, or weaknesses that force them to. The mechanics we teach obey proven physical principles and respect what your body wants to do naturally—and, if implemented correctly, can help anyone become a better pitcher.

3. Physical therapy is great, but we’d rather teach you how to avoid it.

Softball, of course, does not live up to its name… it’s anything but soft. We understand that when you play hard, injuries sometimes happen. However, your normal day-to-day play should absolutely not be a source of chronic pain. When you work with us, you will learn to balance natural mechanics with the physical preparation necessary to perform at your highest potential without getting hurt.

4. Success is the enemy of excellence.

If your goal is to become a truly elite softball player, and perhaps play at the NCAA level, you will need to break out of your comfort zone. If you find yourself throwing too many no-hitters or hitting .500, it’s time to push the envelope. You don’t improve by dominating weaker competition; you improve by facing hitters who can take your best fastball over the fence.

5. Your stats are important, but they’re not who you are.

There is more to playing softball than your ERA or your batting average. Through this sport, we want to help you grow as a person. Our instructors pride themselves on the ability to train players of all ages, even the most highly competitive players, in a nurturing, supportive, educational environment. We measure success not by wins and losses, but by the joy, confidence, and enthusiasm our athletes bring to all aspects of their lives.
