That is the centerpiece of this year’s
“Be the Best You Are’’ softball clinic. Ralph Weekly has put together
a staff of experts who have not only enjoyed success on the field, but
have built their reputations as teachers. They will explain how they
go about that task during the three days of non-stop learning
sessions.
There will be seven coaches here who had their team in the College
World Series in 2007. There are two of the top amateur pitchers - and
teachers of that art - on hand. So too are some of the winningest
college coaches in history to explain how to explain.
Twin sisters Kate and Caryl Drohan quickly turned Northwestern into
a softball powerhouse. They reached the College World Series for a
second straight time last season. The Weekly’s are back too. Ralph
helped put the staff together for this clinic. He and his wife Karen
have spent the last five years turning the University of Tennessee
into a championship contender. They brought the Vols to the final game
last year, something that would have seemed impossible five years ago
when they began changing things around by teaching their way of
playing. Ralph has been instrumental in building the Olympic Team to
legendary status.
Patty Gasso, a legend in the making at Oklahoma not only teaches
the physical aspects of the game but offers insights in how to coach
female athletes.
Cheri Kempf is the commissioner of the National Pro-Fastball League
and a legendary teacher of the art. Her success includes a tour as the
pitching coach for the U.S. team that won the World Championship in
2007. Mike White, a veteran member of the ISA Men’s National team and
a pitching coach at Oregon, is another pitching expert who has
excelled on the international level. The two will share a stage and
talk pitching philosophy and how they each go about their business.
They’ll both be part of Thursday Night Thunder and take turns Friday
at Ultimate Rap sessions explaining how each teaches the change-up,
the rise and the drop.
Mark Lumley, who has turned Baylor into one of the most ferocious
hitting teams in all of college softball, will be on hand to give
details on getting hitters prepared for battle and offering tips on
conditioning and weight training. The clinic will have its usual
features - Thursday Night Thunder, where coaches open the weekend
activities with inside looks at their programs in short bursts. There
are center stage sessions from the biggest names in softball on Friday
and Saturday, and the top names such as Ken Eriksen of South Florida,
Eugene Lenti of DePaul and Scott Whitlock, the winningest coach in
college softball history, will be around for Ultimate Rap sessions, a
series of 30 (25-minute) sessions where ten speakers provide fastpaced,
information in give-and-take sessions that take out the bull. These
sessions have been a yearly success among coaches who always ask for
more when the night is done.
Add it up. The best coaches in the country; the best coaches in
world competition, and the best teachers the game has to offer, it’s a
list of clinicians with credentials that are hard to match.
