My wife and I went to another wedding on Saturday, this time to celebrate one of the girls who played on her lacrosse team at PV High several years ago. It was a beautiful ceremony and a really fun party, and it was great to see Marissa (my wife) reconnect with several of the girls …
I did a lesson recently that made me think of a great way for all players (and really, all people) to approach the new year, and I thought it would make an appropriate blog for January 1. This particular lesson student is relatively new to pitching and while he's a big, strong kid, he hasn't …
