The Science Behind Pitching with Dana Sorensen

Dana offers fascinating insights into why softball pitching is unlike any other sport and why overuse in youth pitchers can lead to long-term injuries.
Sorensen also touches on the importance of strength training, pitch metrics, and why there's no "one-size-fits-all" approach to mastering the game.

Wow! This is a gold interview!! Thank you both!! 💛
Great interview. Very insightful.
The National Champ!
i met her today!! so sweet
I LOVE MIA SCOTT SHE IS MY FAVORITE SOFTBALL PLAYER!
Is BLD going bankrupt?
Corona Angels?
This is dope 🔥
Really learned a lot from this conversation! I am a baseball guy turning into a softball coach, and am trying to help our pitchers as much as I can. I have never understood how this is no pitch counts in youth softball. One thing I have been searching for this offseason is some structure around on ramping pitchers to help them get ready for the work load that is put on them during the season as well as post game recovery after pitching. Is there any materials out there to help?
Whole lot of knowledge in that SWING COACH! Phycho dads and mom's are for teal! 😂
2 questions regarding pitching. 1) do you feel the more traditional pitching of palm/fingers on top of the ball and “hello elbow” or palm up / elbow down internal rotation method. 2) pitching is hard. At what point (months, years, etc) would a parent/player decide that pitching isn’t for them if there is low accuracy and/or abnormally low velocity/spin.
This channel is criminally underrated.
Now that's a real woman power.I mean real woman power!!
This is my new favorite “car ride home podcast”!!! Great questions, LOVED her answers. These are so good!
Glad you enjoyed it! We're getting ready to restart this Fall! Let us know if you have any specific guests you want to hear from.
I just don't want to see a woman with the strength of a man
How can I watch the game
That’s awesome, great to see you guys sharing these gems with us. Marty gots a pretty cool formula
I wouldn’t know, I play hardball
The "Dog House" was put in play then I believe.
Another fantastic video! Thanks for these. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@TheAllianceFastpitch I’ve listened to ever one you guys have put out!! I have a Daughter that just graduated high school and is playing one last summer of select ball. She’s been playing since she was 10 and informed before her HS season this year she didn’t want to play past HS…kid was All State her Junior year (in Texas), bats lefty with 2.7 speed to first. She told me she was burnt out and couldn’t carry on…BUT…wanted to play one last summer of travel ball. So there I was last weekend in Sugarland watching this burnt out kid play in 115 degree heat index. 🥴. Colorado this week then to Chico in July. I’ve worked in Sports TV for 30 years…ESPN, Fox, NBC, ABC…worked for almost every one and have worked multiple Super Bowls, World Series, NBA Finals & tons of NCAA Championship games. I’ve always had the thought that when my Daughter was finished playing I’d LOVE to work with one the established organizations or perhaps with the Alliance…I am a talented editor who knows how to shoot and cover the sport at a professional level. Dropping a link below to a video I put together for my Daughters 14U team before Nationals a few years ago. I was a one man show for this….shot all video, pics and did all the editing. Would love to get your opinion on the product! Thanks!!! Make It Count czcams.com/video/LtfPKv7yEJI/video.html
this was so fire i can’t wait to watch
Hope you enjoyed!
“wow give that editor a raise! Really locked my interested down with that intro!” - Taylor
This podcast is a hidden gem. Keep it up.
Absolutely LOVE the “car ride home” podcasts!!!
I’m loving all the videos you’ve been putting out! I have a daughter finishing her last year of 18U playing on an extremely talented team this Summer. We just won the bid to this year’s Nationals in Cali. I have worked in sports television since 1992…work for ESPN, ABC, NBC, FOX, Amazon and many more. I’ve worked 8 Super Bowls, 7 World Series and 10 NBA Finals….I’m a slow mo operator and editor. I believe I could bring a unique look to cover the Alliance... I have made videos for my daughters teams since 12U for fun but have had many over the years ask if I could do something for their teams. I’ve always had the thought that I could do an incredible job of covering and producing a tournament recap video of the BIG National tournaments…a video like you see when teams win the Super Bowl, World Series or NBA finals…like “road to the championship”. Highlights from the games…behind the scenes…sound bites…etc. here’s a link to a video I made for my daughters 14U team before their Nationals in 2016. Make It Count czcams.com/video/LtfPKv7yEJI/video.html
I didn’t get to participate in the zoom call but one of my main questions for this age would be how much should a 10u team practice and how many games should they play a year? I really worry about burn out in kids at this age. I worry about it becoming a job to them.
Hey Kurtis, we recommend listening to this recording as some of this information was addressed within the video! We completely understand your concern and we are planning to host more webinars like this to continue this discussion.
P r o m o s m
Two incredible leaders in the sport! Great Role Models!
Within the first minute of this video you have mentioned three legends of travel softball. My daughter play for Marty Tyson for three years when there were only the original two Corona Angels teams. She then played for Tony Rico and Don Minard for 4 years on the original and only Firecracker team at that time. Our family is blessed to know these three gentlemen and consider them to be friends. Anxious to hear the rest of this video and hopefully the many more to follow.
I personally remember a car ride home with Tony, Don and John Dakes in Colorado that I still laugh about today.
A whip isn’t solid like a bat. Lets hit backwards duh!

wow. you told your player she didnt have the guts? then your proud she played hurt? you are hurting your players psychologically. you need to listen to sue enquist speeches. what a shame it is what youre doing to young athletes. no wonder she didnt tell you. she has no trust in you. you should not be coaching kids.
Computer Blue, You really don’t understand a competitive spirit. My daughter hated to lose more than she loved to win. She would do anything not to lose, pitch with bleeding blisters, supergluing fingers (her fingers looked exactly like that girls). Let me assure you from first hand experience. Sue was not always peaches and cream and would call players names that can’t be used in mixed company. She knew how to tear players down at a particular moment but build them up even better. It’s a process but I will say the players are softer now and coaches treat them differently especially with the portal.
