This COMBINATION of In-Person Instruction AND the "Complete Pitcher" Digital Course is the BEST way for pitchers to learn! Here's what my SIGNATURE training experience includes:
In-Person Training Options
This structured in-person training is offered ONCE a year beginning in the late fall and running through the spring.
There are 3 different options to receive face-to-face instruction that will compliment what is covered in the "Complete Pitcher" digital course.
- Small Group Clinics
- 4, 3-hour Sessions - Max of 6 Pitchers
- This is a NEW training option that is perfect for families living too far away to attend regular small group lessons OR that have many other time commitments and can not attend more frequent in-person training
- Small Group Classes
- 12, 1-hour Sessions - Max of 5 Pitchers
- This is the MOST POPULAR in-person training option. It's how lessons have been taught since BreakThrew Fastpitch was founded in 2006. This allows pitchers to get consistent, regular in-person instruction and feedback, on-average, twice monthly.
- ADD on Private Lessons
- This is a NEW training option for pitchers that want EXTRA in-person instruction. In addition to small group clinics or lessons, pitchers will have the option to add on a few 1-on-1 lessons with Myndie. There will be LIMITED spots available for these add on sessions. More information on spots available will be provided to everyone enrolled in my small group sessions AFTER in-person registration is complete. This is an add-on option ONLY available to students enrolled in my small group training.

A Glimpse Of What In-Person Training Looks Like:
This 5 to 7-month lesson program is designed for pitchers ages 8 years and up that LOVE pitching, are passionate about improving their skills AND willing to put in WORK outside of lessons.
- Training runs form late fall and continues through the spring.
- Small group classes are set up to challenge the girls both physically and mentally.
- These classes add a competitive component to training that will push pitchers out of their comfort zones. They MUST train in a competitive environment so they are prepared for what it feels like AND how to respond during games!
- Training in small groups gives also give athletes an opportunity to learn HOW to make adjustments without being told something to correct every pitch. This is VITAL to being successful during competition!
All THREE training seasons will be covered:
- Off-season training offers the largest opportunity for improvement. It involves:
- Developing a Strong Foundation of Mechanics
- Gaining Strength/Speed
- Developing Off-Speed and/or Movement
- Habit Building, Routines
- Understanding and Developing a Growth Mindset
- Practicing Good Body Language and Self-Talk
- There is very little focus on RESULTS in the strike zone during off-season!
- Pre-season training begins a few weeks before competition starts. It involves:
- Hitting Targets
- Fine Tuning Movement and Deception
- Identifying Strengths Through Charting Bullpens
- Understanding Pitch Sequences
- Identifying Hitter Weaknesses
- Using Pre-Pitch and Pre-Game Routines
- Competitive Mindsets
- Head to Head Competitions with Classmates
- Creating Process Focused Goals
- In-season training will take place once games begin. It involves:
- Reviewing Pitch Charts from games
- Identifying Areas for Improvement Before the Next Game
- Fighting Through the Adversity that Shows Up
- Fine Tune Competition Routines
- Practicing good body language and self-talk.
A large amount of responsibility will be placed on each pitcher accepted into the program to PRACTICE at home between lessons! Investing the time and work FREQUENTLY and CONSISTENTLY throughout the program is the key to getting RESULTS!
