A warm-up isn’t just about throwing pitches. For most youth softball pitchers, the mental warm-up matters even more. If she’s not breathing with control, visualizing success, or speaking confidence over herself—she’s starting the game scattered, not steady. Here’s how to calm nerves before a softball game: ✅ Controlled breathing before first pitch. ✅ Quick visualization of success under pressure. ✅ One mindset phrase to quiet the chaos.

Athletic drills make better pitchers. At Pitching Angel, we’re always asking, “Can your body do this?” “Can you move this way?” “Can you control it?” Because the more athletic you are, the easier pitching becomes. We push these drills on purpose — to build power, confidence, and efficiency that actually shows up in the circle. This is how velocity grows. This is how pitchers last. ✨ Want the drills we use at PAE? Comment 999 and I’ll send you my favorites. | Amanda Scarborough - Softball Pitchin

Pitching sprints are seriously one of my favorite drills!! It is SOOOO good for feeling your front side resistance! We even added a resistance band to this drill today to get even MORE out of it!! When you have great front side resistance you can transfer power better with an effortless and smooth whip! Get the drills pitchers are using to dominate on game day.

When I first started pitching, I didn’t have it all figured out. In fact, I struggled. I was constantly trying to keep up with everyone else and always felt like I was one step behind. 🤦‍♀️But here’s the thing—I didn’t quit. I stayed resilient, put in the work, and over time, I started to see things click. And looking back, there was ONE thing that made all the difference: building a strong foundation. I wasn’t the tallest or the fastest, but I focused on mastering the fundamentals. It wasn’t j

It all starts in the beginning stages of pitching... learning the proper mechanics. 80% of injuries in softball pitchers are due to 𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬. By ignoring proper mechanics and getting the right instruction, you increase your pitcher’s chance of injury. And for this second... ignore the buzz words of accuracy and velocity - those do NOT matter if your pitcher is injured. It’s up to you as parents and coaches to prioritize proper form and mechanics to help your pitcher stay healt

I reached a point where I almost quit pitching altogether in high school. The pressure felt unbearable. Every bad outing made me question if I was even meant to be a pitcher. Every time I didn’t get the start I wondered if anyone would ever believe in me. I remember sitting on the ground with my parents in my garage after we got home from a tournament. I was absolutely bawling after a particularly rough game, wondering if it was time to walk away from the thing I’d loved my whole life. It all fe

High school pitching has a way of making everything feel louder. The pressure. The expectations. The opinions. The highs and the lows — sometimes all in the same week. If you’re a high school pitcher reading this, here’s what I want you to know: You don’t have to have it all figured out right now. You don’t have to be perfect to be confident. And you don’t have to go through this season alone. Spring is where pitchers learn how to steady themselves. How to lead when things feel uncertain. How to

A pitching windup is one of the first things you should choose as a beginner pitcher! Here are 3 different styles of windups you can choose from if you’re a beginner, or if you’re just feeling a little lost and want a revamp! A windup should feel comfortable to a young pitcher! And, it’s one of the first big choices she gets to make in life- I STILL remember the conversation with the second pitching coach I ever had when she showed me these three versions.

You don’t end up at PAE by accident. Some girls arrive quiet. Carrying doubt. Trying to figure things out on their own. Others walk in bold. Big dreams. Big goals. Wondering if anyone else thinks this way… wants this much. And then something happens. The room changes. The energy shifts. You realize you’re surrounded by people who see you — not as “too much,” but as right on time. You train with coaches who’ve been there. Players who’ve lived it. Women who don’t just teach the game — they underst

Most youth softball pitchers walk into the bullpen, grab a ball… and just start throwing. No plan. No purpose. No rhythm. Just hoping the pieces fall into place before the game starts. But here’s the truth I wish every pitcher knew earlier: Your first pitch of the game isn’t the start. Your warm-up is. And when you treat your warm-up like the foundation—not just the formality—everything changes. ✅ You feel your body loosening up instead of tightening up. ✅ You find your rhythm before the game—no

I came up with this drill because too many times in the "K Drill" I see a sloppy version of it where a girl steps towards the catcher and has no awareness of her lower half -- which is the most important part of the pitch. She usually leans forward and she doesn't drag all the way up to her front side. So I created this different version of the K Drill to help a pitch feel what it is like to actually stay BACK and not just automatically fall forward to their front foot. In this drill they can 1)

There’s a reason families don’t just come once. It’s not about adding more pitches. It’s not about chasing velocity overnight. It’s about walking into a space where your pitcher feels seen. Heard. Challenged. Supported. It’s about leaving with clarity, confidence, and belief — not just drills.

She didn’t always feel this way. But something changed. She used to beg you to go outside and throw. She used to light up when it was her turn to pitch. She used to believe she was a pitcher. Now she’s quieter. Harder on herself. Frustrated even after practice—and you can see it wearing on her. You’re wondering if it’s just a phase… or something more.💔 The truth is, so many 12U softball pitchers lose their spark right here—when the game gets harder, and their mechanics stop working.

Before she can have fun again, she needs to feel confident again. I hear this all the time from parents: “”I just want her to have FUN. But she’s so hard on herself.”” Here’s what most people don’t understand: Your pitcher CAN’T have fun when she’s doubting herself. When she’s walking off the mound frustrated. When she feels like she’s letting everyone down. The mental fatigue is REAL. The pressure she’s putting on herself is crushing her love of the game. And telling her to “”just relax”” or “”

If your pitcher masters these 4 mindsets, she’ll handle pressure better than 90% of the pitchers she faces. Here’s what separates pitchers who crumble under pressure from the ones who OWN the circle: 1. The pressure is a privilege - not a burden Every time she steps into that circle, she gets to be THE player. The one who controls the game. The one everyone’s watching. That’s not something to fear—that’s something to EMBRACE. The best pitchers don’t run from pressure. They chase it. 2. Mistakes

You don’t need a rise ball to start changing planes and elevating a hitter’s eyes. A huge part of what makes pitchers successful at getting swings and misses — at any level — is how they move the ball up and down, not just in and out. Even just a well-located fastball up in the zone can be incredibly effective. At younger age groups, or before you’ve fully developed a rise, there’s nothing wrong with purposefully elevating your fastball to change a hitter’s eye level. You just have to be intenti
