Transcript

Okay, so the first thing I want to go over is who is Amy hunt? That's me. And why am I giving you this information? It's not bragging whatsoever, but I just want you to know that I do have experience and why my experience is important. You can see my playing experience and I'm just going to tell you real quick, I played baseball into ninth grade and then I switched over to softball. In that time, I had a brother also who played baseball and was coached by the pitching coach of the Phillies.

He won two state championships as a pitcher and and I went and I went to every so many games Okay, and then he was an all star and then he was a regional all star and he went to play on into division one college, and I asked him I said, You're not as fast as some of those other guys. Why are you so good? Like what? Why are you so successful? And he told me and I remember this from the time I was in high school, he said when I pitch if the catcher puts his glove, in a spot, I will hit exactly where he will it and that's why I succeed, not because I'm faster than the other guys, but I'm smarter. So that intrigued me.

And since then, I went into college and played a messiah college for four years, I played shortstop primarily in first and I had, I guess the highest was regional levels. Accolades and then I pitched in the first ever women's baseball championship. So I do have pitching his parents because I pitched all through baseball. I was a pitcher, and shortstop in baseball, so I had a lot of control like my brother and he taught me how to pitch as a female pitcher. So after college after I played in college, I went on to coach at and get my masters at Marietta college and I assisted for two years and then I went into Catoctin High School. As a shortstop softball player coaching a team and I didn't know much about pitching softball like how to twist your hand which dress You get a drop.

I mean, I know a lot more now. But fresh out of college, get my masters. I went right into an assistant coach my first year and then into the varsity position. And I needed to know how to teach my pitchers and catchers in a game. And my first year coaching, we went to the state championship, and we didn't win. And then within the next six years we played and we lost three of those years to the eventual state championship champion earlier down the line and play.

But we did end up at three state finals and what's important here and I highlighted it in like a yellow orange is in the three state championships we went to. We played and had three different sets or three batteries, three different pitchers, three different catchers that went into those three different state championships and I attribute what we did to get there, from what my brother had taught me back when he was winning state championships as a baseball player, it is the control that you have in the variation of speed that throws batters off. And that pushes you into success. So I use those as a head coach into coaching my three different teams into the three different championships. And so that is what I'm sharing to you today. I also just so you know, coached and assisted at Messiah college my first year we went to the national World Series, so my experience is not a ton of years in relative to a lot of people.

But my years in coaching is has been successful. So that's a little bit about my background. I think when I coached at the high school level, my record was 112 wins and 15 losses. So does this theory work? I believe it does, because I took sip six different girls, three different batteries to a state championship using the same theory that you're going to learn in the rest of the video. So let's get started.
