Hi, I’m Myndie—founder of BreakThrew Fastpitch. I started this blog as a way to support the bigger mission behind my work: helping young pitchers become strong, confident, resilient leaders—on and off the field. Each Thursday, I share thoughts, tools, and training tips for pitchers, parents, catchers, and coaches. Some weeks, it’s drills and mechanics. Other times, it’s mindset work, leadership lessons, or a reminder that growth isn’t always measured by stats. Whether you’re here for ideas, encouragement, or a fresh perspective—I’m glad you are. Thanks for allowing me to be a small part of your pitching journey.
