About Kurtis

I am a young Softball player at 19 Years old. I’ve played fast-pitch since I was 11 and softball as a whole since I was 3. I spent my college years pitching at national softball tournaments for my home city of Wellington from U13, U15, U17, U19 Playing numerous national tournaments each year which led to scouts taking interest. In 2018 I was chosen to represent New Zealand in a 24 day tour of Europe with some of the elite international men’s teams. Still very young in age but I have a lot of experience under my belt and I really want to pass on my knowledge to the younger generation of players

About the lesson

SHAPING
Shaping involves teaching the entire movement, often through imitation. We provide a demonstration of the skill and ask the player to imitate the movement. Visual models are very important in learning new skills. Of all the senses, sight is by far the most important and effective for learning. The demonstration or visual representation must be as accurate as possible, either with the coach or a skilled player providing the demonstration or showing a video. By seeing the proper technique, a player will be able to mimic the performance. The coach then provides feedback to that player to adjust one aspect of the skill while still performing the complete motion.
It is usually easier for young players to imitate or copy someone than to absorb a lot of information. It allows the player to develop a feel for the complete motion. It is also used with advanced players to fine tune a technique such as the batting swing.

CHAINING
Chaining is a practice technique where skills are broken down into their component parts. Each part is then taught separately before all parts are added back together. The coach can start at the beginning of the skill or at the end of the skill. Demonstrate the entire movement to the player before breaking it into component parts (Whole-Part-Whole teaching).
A coach’s decision to use this technique depends on the complexity of the skill and the age and ability of the player. This technique may not work well with very young children due to their general lack of coordination. It has been shown to be effective with skills that require a high level of accuracy (e.g., pitching).
Backward chaining is where the skill components are grouped in reverse order starting at the end. For example, in windmill pitching, the first movement to be taught would be the wrist snap. Because ball release is the most difficult aspect of pitching to master, a backwards chaining approach can also capitalize on the high level of motivation and focus players typically have at the beginning of practice relative to the end.
