Amherst College Softball; Amherst, MA

my job was to coach the softball pitchers and guide them both mentally and physically. I also had to keep a log of our daily workouts and track the girls progress. Changes such as what drills we worked on and what piece of pitching mechanics we concentrated on as our main focus changed daily.

I would rate this field placement as excellent in all categories and i would highly recommend this position to other students who are interested. It is a hands on experience instead of reading and testing about how different people learn, you're actually experiencing it and having to figure out which procedures are best for each individual.

My advice to students is to be prepared to need patience, versatility, and don't be afraid to slightly change your plans when situations happen in a workout. Maybe the player needs another focus point that you originally intended. That's OK! Everyone works in a different way and can improve through that difference.
