She Was Sore on Monday… and Anxious by Friday

athlete development mental toughness parent education recovery Jul 16, 2025

One of my DR3 moms messaged me after her daughter’s first month of high school ball. She said:

“Coach D, she’s sore every Monday, stiff every Thursday, and nervous every Friday because she never feels ready to compete.”

This isn’t just about soreness—it’s about confidence.

And when a pitcher doesn’t feel strong, she won’t throw strong.

That’s why I created the 15-Minute In-Season Workout for Pitchers with Coach Dakota. We knew girls didn’t need more—they needed smarter.

In just 15 minutes a day, this routine helps them:

  • Reduce soreness
  • Stay game-ready
  • Keep their hips, core, and shoulders strong
  • Build body awareness so they show up with purpose, not panic

We’re seeing girls feel stronger and sharper—not worn out and beat up. They’re recovering faster and walking into game day with energy, not anxiety.
