Training Specialties

We teach what is popularly known as "internal rotation" (IR) pitching mechanics, and have done so for more than 20 years. Our approach focuses on strong drive mechanics to generate energy, proper timing, rock-solid posture and stability, and fast arm whip with a brush trigger. No surprise as Ken was one of the first pitching coaches in the country to become a Pauly Girl Fastpitch Elite Level certified coach. 

Rather than gimmicks or tricks designed to get social media clicks, we rely on training techniques that are  individualized to the needs of our students and that have proven to deliver the best results. 

This approach is enhanced by close collaboration with top pitching coaches around the U.S. who are equally dedicated to learning how to optimize the pitching motion. This sharing of information ensures your daughter will receive the best training available anywhere. 

Players who come to Softball Success for hitting lessons learn how to hit the ball hard by using their entire bodies, not just their arms. At the same time, our hips-shoulders-bat approach gives them more time to see the ball so they can make better swing decisions, deliver greater power, develop a shorter swing path, and create a more optimized hitting zone. 

Many students initially come to us because they are either striking out frequently or making weak contact at best. After as little as two weeks they begin to find themselves making stronger, more consistent contact - as long as they follow the program and put in the work on their own. 

You don't have to be big to hit the ball deep into the gaps. Even smaller girls can learn to hit well above their weight classes. 

And if you have a slapper or budding slapper, we can teach her to hard slap, soft slap, drag bunt, and hit for power - as long as she is committed to making the effort to learn. 

Whether your daughter has tons of experience at the position or is putting on the "tools of ignorance" for the first time, we can help her learn to be the catcher every coach wants behind the plate. 

Much of our lesson time is spent on the two areas where catchers most "make their bones" - blocking and throwing runners out on steals. We can help catchers build their confidence in their ability to stop virtually any ball in the dirt and cut their pop times from their feet and their knees. 

Beyond those two key skills, we teach them how to "steal" strikes through proper framing of pitches, how to get more outs on tag plays at the plate, how to find and secure more pop-ups, and perhaps a great catcher's most important skill: how to be a field general during the game. 

It's a well-rounded education that will enable them to stand out from the crowd.
