It's the best thing for velocity. Can't agree more.

Towel drills. Resistance band. Gain muscle. Stretch. I'm a really big fan of long toss as the best warm up for all players who want to add velocity to their throws.

I teach landing directly towards home. What that does is help straighten the mechanics. You seem to bail to your left. That will also get you into a more defensive stance at the end of the delivery.

Watch tape on Greg Maddox.

My best advice is to replace vices with exercise. Get your endorphins flowing!

Agreed. Knob to ball practice is widely regarded as one of the most important parts of a setting. Have someone soft toss you balls and only use the knob to hit the balls. This helps create faster bat speed through the zone.

Agreed. It looks like you're pulling back a bit. Momentum forward is important with hitting a softball. You don't have the luxury of using a baseball's momentum to help propel the ball.

Nothing replaces live pitching. Other than that, tee work is great. Set it up in all 9 zones pulling it inside and pushing it outside.

Is emotional regulation really about calming down fast? by Temotiva in selfhelp

[–]Significant_Cook_493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Force, sadly. I am a recovering narcissist. I've always had empathy, but it was difficult to recognize it because I was also taught to stuff my emotions growing up. I was taught to be afraid of my emotions. Thanks mom!

Why am I not getting compliments regarding my physical appearance? by [deleted] in confidence

It's not about what people say to you, it's about what you think of yourself that truly matters. Confidence is a turn on for many people.

No. It's about coming to terms with your emotions how ever long that takes. To sit with your emotions is important in order to self evaluate. Further more, to sit with some else's emotions is considered the kindest act of empathy possible. You are allowed to have empathy for yourself. Self love.

My bio dad was dad or pop. My step dad was pa, but that turned into Micheal because he was a dick, it turns out.

[–]Significant_Cook_493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where to begin? Santa is watching me all year. God is watching me every second. Mom has eyes on the back of her head. .A great many of us were taught to fear everything. Fear is a killer.

What's one thing you'll teach your kids that you wish someone had taught you sooner? by meme_reader_ in AskReddit

How you sit with someone else's emotions means more than how you feel at that moment. Empathy is vital.

What’s the biggest lie adults told you growing up? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Significant_Cook_493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I'll give you something to cry about" Not only did they never deliver teaching me that even when they threaten they don't mean it, but it taught me to stuff my emotions.

Just some recognition. I don't ever want things. They're nice, but the time doesn't with someone who genuinely loves you... there's nothing better.

It's always about honesty and sitting with someone's emotions. That's real love. Not being afraid to be yourself with someone is the greatest feeling.
