My Students

My students are home town outdoor kids who don't know much about their own home. We are an agricultural-based town with some migrant workers. Thirty percent of our students are Hispanic. We are in the process of piloting a new Women's Fastpitch high school team

There is no better feeling in the world than when a student you are working with finds self-confidence and self-worth.

Softball gives these girls a goal and focuses that transfers to their everyday lives. If I can be an instrument in helping them attain their goals then true coaching is happening.

My Project

Our high school is starting a new Fast Pitch Softball team. We are gathering equipment to make this happen. Our season will be in the cooler spring. This means batting practice will happen in cold temperatures. This is painful on your hands. This is why batting gloves will be an added need for our new team.

If you can't hit the sweet spot on the bat during cold weather it is going to hurt.

Batting gloves will temper the pain in cold weather when we are having batting practice. It is a little difficult to hone skills in the cold, but not impossible.
