Is your young pitcher struggling with consistency? It’s a common issue, especially around age 10. Many young players start strong but lose their rhythm after a few pitches, often due to a mix of confidence and overthinking. The key is to help them repeat their delivery consistently.
Tips to Improve Pitching Consistency
-
Positive Reinforcement: A supportive catcher and coach can make a huge difference. Encourage them with phrases like “Let’s go!” and “You got this!” to build confidence.
-
Simplify Coaching: Limit the number of voices offering advice. Designate one coach to work closely with the pitcher and catcher.
-
Focus on Key Words: Use simple, effective cues that resonate with the pitcher to keep them focused and confident.
By creating a positive and focused environment, you can help your young pitcher build the confidence and consistency they need to succeed. Remind them to focus on the glove, trust their training, and block out the noise.
