2 months agoIn almost 30 years of being an elite Fastpitch pitching coaching….This is a hill I will die on-I have seen so many pitchers out striding what their body is capable of handling and that leads to mechanical breakdowns, energy leaks and worse physical injuries and mental breakdowns (that all could have been avoided).
a year agoWe have them take take 6 heel to toe steps to mark that same length. Everyone is exactly 6 of their feet tall. Makes it easy to mark it in a game
a year agoI always calculate their stride from their squat lifting profile - The stride length is 3 times their femur length of a softball player who’s femur is 30% less than their total body height and 2-2.5 times their femur length that is more than 30% of their height total. The femur is measured from a sitting position going from the back of the hip to the end of the knee range. 🤗
