DRILLS FOR PITCHERS TO WORK ON SEPARATION OF THE UPPER AND LOWER BODY

08/15/2026

Tier One Athletics is about so much more than teaching a kid how to throw a softball. 🥎

We develop complete pitchers from the ground up.

Our coaching is built around four foundational components: Ground Force Power, Sequencing, Internal Rotation & Arm Whip, and Timing & Rhythm. Instead of constantly trying to “fix” the end result, we teach athletes to understand where their power comes from, how their body works together, and how to repeat efficient mechanics with confidence.

Because velocity, command, movement and consistency aren’t things we chase with shortcuts — they’re the result of a strong foundation.

But developing a pitcher goes beyond mechanics.

We expect our athletes to work with purpose, compete, become mentally tougher, build confidence and learn what it means to take ownership of their development.

At Tier One, we aren’t interested in creating pitchers who simply look good during a lesson.

We want to build pitchers who are prepared to DOMINATE when it matters. 🔥🥎

Better mechanics.
More velocity.
Greater confidence.
Stronger mentality.
Winning performance.

Built different. Developed here. Destined to dominate.

Why I completely disagree with learning new pitches prior to foundational development or when a pitcher is struggling with her foundation.

Today is my Nana’s funeral. 🤍

Please still feel free to reach out to me with any questions, scheduling needs, or anything else you may need. I just ask for a little patience and understanding today.

Depending on the urgency and priority of your message, I may not be able to respond until tomorrow as I’ll be spending today with my family, honoring and saying goodbye to someone we love very much.

Thank you so much for understanding and for giving me a little grace today. 🤍

When families think of moving to a national organization, the first question is cost. Some organizations charge a lot just to wear a name on the jersey. But Lady Dukes softball is different, both the Owner JD Lamar III and the organization is committed to player development and opportunities. When the leader of your organization takes the time to fly into NY and meet with incoming and old coaches just to make sure players are getting what they need, you know Lady Dukes NY Softball is where your player should be.

Free player registrations, free uniforms, free equipment; all provided by the Lady Dukes organization so players and families don't have to stress about making the move to a highly recognized organization.

All of this and the organization has all methods of support for coaches, families, teams and for your player's college recruiting. The Lady Dukes are about player's and families, this isn't a business; it's about a young player's future!!!

Thank you JD Lamar III for being a leader who does more than just talk about possibilities.
