Sometimes I’ll work with a pitcher that no matter what we do, she can’t figure out how to resist with her front side. In times like this, it’s often because their body doesn’t understand what is being asked of it and doesn’t know how to execute it. So instead of trying to figure it out while performing a complicated task (pitching) with expectations (good pitches), we want to move to a more basic skill that helps their body focus on what we are trying to get it to do.
