One of best softball pitching secrets and techniques is the ability to put together the three pitching keys of the game which are: Preparation, Relaxation, Confidence, Muscle Control, and Style. There are five very simple keys point to effective softball pitching in both practice and tournaments.

The first softball pitching key is PREPARATION – To become a master pitcher, you will have to prepare a lot. And by preparing we mean constant practicing which includes dynamic warm-ups, 75-150 ball pitches a day, hitting locations, running rotations, game mechanics mastery (rules, guidelines, pitching techniques and styles etc.), and long tosses.

Remember to practice with the normal pitching style first before going on to the more complicated softball pitching styles and techniques. Dynamic warm-ups are a must before any training or game.

The second softball pitching key is RELAXATION – It is vital to relax both the mind and body before doing any pitch. Relaxation helps control blood flow and body movements meaning that if one is relaxed and not in a stressed or tensed state, he or she is more likely to deliver very hard-to-hit pitches.

A tip in getting into a relaxed state amidst competitions is to hum or sing a song (music therapy for sports) or perhaps just simple breathing exercises before making the pitch will work. The important thing is to find what calms you down.
