" The Future of Tyee High School Softball? "

.

Jordan Kelly is an Honors Student and just finished traveling to Washington DC with fellow Honors students. It takes hard work and dedication to staying at the top of her class. Jordan uses the same dedication and hard work training at the La Serna Fastpitch Academy in Tacoma,Washington twice per week with Coach Adam for pitching and hitting instruction. "I've been around baseball and softball for many years. I coach both my daughters in Little League so it was time for Jordon to train with Adam. We know what he has done with the Top Pitchers in Puyallup,Graham,Tacoma and Seattle. I told Jordan this is not Little League Camp and forget about the idea it being easy.

.

"LFA Summer Camp is the most challenging Pitching Camp in Washington. Adam's philosophy is one way, HIS. Universally it's sound,solid no fooling around pitching instruction. His 14u ASA pitchers and High School pitchers dominate batters. You are going to have to work harder than before because your ASA/NSA competition is working just as hard, Adam knows how to prepare you for the next level in Select Fastpitch. " - Coach Tom Kelly, Head coach SHN LL

I really like her drop and change-up she used at the Ice Breaker Tournament. The team won 5 out of 6 games!!

" Now Jordan is learning the Rise ball and my other younger daughter Maddie is on board with coach Adam each week for lessons and is showing improvement."

11 year old Pitcher demonstrates perfect form for the Riseball

“ What pitching practice means to me is what can I do to get better today. My sister Alexa is a great pitcher. I want to be better than her one day.” – Cydni Mason
.
“Cydni is getting better. She wants it. I think she is determined to do her best. This year was tough. WE know it’s going to get tougher. She made up her mind to do it. Cydni wanted to train with the advanced pitchers last week and the week before. Adam did not think she was ready but when she got her chance, assistant camp coach Kelli showed her the ropes to the perfect Riseball that she has been perfecting with Coach Adam at his Advanced Camp for College Pitchers. She amazed everyone there. Once she set her goal to reach higher and learn more she does it. Hard to imagine an 11 year old with these new skills. ”

Kelli Bornander, LFA Assistant Shares her Dream

Kelli Bornander, NSU Pitcher
LFA Assistant Pitching Camp Coach

.
“ I look forward to getting together with the young pitchers at Camp to share my Dream with them. Each day I work on their training sets with them and later we talk about their goals and dreams. You never know what may happen on your Team. Sometimes it’s not about you and you have to move on and work harder if your team leaves you. Coaches will say things they may regret later. It all works out. It did for me. You have to leave your doubts with the people that doubted you or your potential. Coach Adam saw me as an opportunity to build a Dream when nobody else wanted to, he stepped up for me. I went through a major change. He helped me reach my immediate goals at Lakes High School and LadyHawks 18u, then was able to drive me to my Dream of one day playing college softball as a starting pitcher my Freshman year of College. You never give up trying and working hard at your Dreams no matter what. ”

Carly Musser, Most Improved
LFA Summer Camp 2009
14u Pitcher

.

April is always an exciting time of year for baseball and fastpitch softball. The smell of the new grass after being cut. Hot dogs roasting in the ball park. Talks of Ichiro contending for another All Star season performance. Good times for kids and adults preparing for ball games. April always brings me new talent to work with.

.

I met Melissa Musser on facebook fastpitch friends and soon she enrolled her daughter Carly for Fastpitch Pitching lessons. There was something about Carly that got my attention. Tall and a coaches player because every instruction I gave her was followed by, ok or yes sir. I really just thought she wanted to improve a little more on her fastball for Little League. Then 2 months goes by and while at Summer Camp I noticed Carly throwing a little faster, learning new pitches rapidly and almost perfect in the strike zone on all her spots/ She is good at listening to every word from assistant camp coach Kelli Bornander, starting pitcher for Northern State University. Coach Kelly: Carly reminds me of me when I was 14. Tall and really wanting to be the best pitcher I could be. I think she is having fun and the fact that I can show her my college skills really motivated Carly to look to the future and share my dream. Coach Adam: It took only a few months to give Carly some new skills. What goes on when she leaves camp is her own doing. She is committed to training with her dad,Brian almost every day. Melissa Musser: When Carly puts her mind to something she wants to do I think she puts her perfectionist side into it and really strives to do her best. A bit shy, Carly doesn't like to look bad at what she does. Carly: " I worked hard training with my dad each day. If I don't understand something I am doing wrong, I look in my Training Journal and my pitching notes from Camp are there. I just follow the Important Keys to the pitch and it works. I like training with coach Kelli and I want to pitch like her. One day I will come back from college on summer break and help out at Summer Camps."
"She's turned into this new kid since she's been working with Adam. She actually has a swagger now, and that head strong, vibrant, excited kid I used to know is back, and you helped give that to her. When you pointed her out last night as most improved, I could see her whole body language change. She may not have shown it, but you made her day. "
