At the age of 16, Leslie Poole moved across the country for an intensive year of fastpitch training with Doug Finch. This formative time instilled the commitment level needed to become a college pitcher at the University of Tennessee and top-25 ranked Fresno State. She now shares this knowledge with her own pitching students at PDX Pitching LLC and on our show today.

As a pitching coach, Leslie’s 3 priorities are to: 1) teach safe mechanics 2) increase to full speed and intensity 3) control … As we discuss, staying within these priorities demands mental toughness and sets the tone for the discipline she expects from her athletes. We also discuss why working on your mechanics and technique is a constant and vigilant process across all sports.

Leslie does a great job guiding her athletes towards setting and reaching a single goal. Why just 1 single goal? Listen and find out now!
