As a coach, I can teach your daughter how to spin the ball.

How to sequence pitches.

How to hit her spots.

But what I can’t do in a 60-minute lesson… is teach her to believe she belongs on that mound.

That’s why I created the Diamond Strong Mindset Academy.

Because the girls who stand out aren’...

If your daughter wants to throw harder, with better control — this is what needs to click:

1. Wind-Up

• Leg lift

• Hip separation

• Shoulder rotation
  This phase sets the tone for rhythm and momentum.

2. Stride

• Transfers energy from back leg to front

• Builds power from the grou

I see it all the time…

Parents bring their daughters to me and say,
"She just can't throw hard"
or
"Her release is off."

But here's what I’ve learned after years of coaching pitchers:

Pitching isn’t just about the arm.
It’s about the entire body working in sync.

And when ONE part of the chain breaks...

In today’s game, it’s tempting to chase the next pitch, the next milestone, the next shiny number.

But Coach D is here to say it loud:

More pitches doesn’t make you elite. Better command does.

Adding too fast can backfire—leading to injury, frustration, and burnout. Rushing mastery just for t...

Sometimes, the fix isn’t physical—it’s visual.

Here’s a fast (and often surprising) way to help your daughter throw more strikes today:

Adjust her eye level.

Yep. It’s that simple.

If she’s consistently throwing high?
👉 Have her aim lower.

If she’s constantly spiking pitches in the dirt?
👉 Tell...

Want to fix your pitcher’s control issues? Don’t start with the arm. Start at the feet.

Yes, you read that right. The most overlooked part of a pitcher’s accuracy is often her plant leg.

Here’s what I teach every athlete I work with, from 9U to college commits:

“Your front side is your brake pe

It’s the bottom of the fourth. Two outs. Runner on second.
Your daughter gets the sign, winds up… ball four.

Another missed spot. Another missed chance.

Naturally, most parents and coaches jump to the go-to solution: “She needs to fix her mechanics.”

But what if I told you that’s not the real iss...

She took a deep breath… and threw a strike.

Then the next girl did the same.
And the next.
And the next.

One by one, these little pitchers were dialed in — calm, focused, smooth… and throwing absolute strikes.

This was one of my favorite clinics from the fall, hosted in Louisiana with the amazing...

I’ll never forget this mini-intensive session with my girl Preslie — one of my California pitchers who’s been absolutely crushing it in her sophomore high school season!

When we filmed this, she was just getting back from an injury. But let me tell you — this girl showed up every single week in our...

 I was 20, sitting in the training room with tears in my eyes… again.

Injured. Again.

Frustrated. Again.

My junior year—and my seventh injury since I was 14.

But this time… it felt different.

Not just physically, but mentally. Emotionally.

My identity as a pitcher, a leader, ...
