I also added a little bonus footage at the end, because sometimes you have to laugh at yourself.

Thank you!
For 12 years of pitching and then over 20 years of coaching pitchers in both lessons and on the collegiate level, I have always been obsessed with speed. Still, I am always a student of the game and willing to learn from anyone, including my own students. It is not just speed, even though that is my forte. The magic behind powerhouse speed, sizzling spin, beautiful mechanics, incredible ball placement, strong mental game, combined with good game strategy, is an intriguing art that is ever changing with a lot of moving parts. I was once a great college ball pitcher but I desire to be an even better coach through love and passion for the game.

Really good video. Do more :) We'll be implementing these drills today. Well, some of them and eventually all of them.

Thank you so much!!! It means a lot because I'm new to video editing and so I've spent a lot of time trying to learn how to do it. :)

Hey Amy , My name is Harleigh Anderson, Not sure if you remember me or not. But you were my first pitching coach ever , i ended up moving to Alabama and i played on the outlaws travel ball team. I play college softball now at Marion Military Institute, and i’m training for off season and looking to gain speed :) pretty awesome that i found you on youtube, i’d love to be able to contact you if i can !

I enjoyed these tips, but with the underweight 3, wouldn’t it be better to use a heavier ball? Because after using an underweight ball, a regular softball would feel heavy.

At 6:40 I am referring to the underweight only, not alternating with regular weight. I often use lite-flight balls instead of the ball I showed in the video. So I referenced the regular size underweight (lite flight is a brand) because I actually don't like the oversized underweight as much but it was the only video I could find of the underweight. FYI, I made a video about increasing speed by alternating heavy, light, then regular that I snagged from Coach Anderson (Missouri). It really worked and gave the girls instant gratification. Check it out! :) Thanks for the comment!
