OUR LATEST UPDATES
What’s New in August
​
August is all about getting back into a routine.
​
With school starting back up, schedules begin to settle down, making it the perfect time to establish consistent habits. The athletes who continue showing up, throwing, training, and taking care of their bodies during the school year are the ones who continue making progress long after the excitement of summer has passed.
Last month, I had the opportunity to attend the Foster Fastpitch Retreat, where I spent several days learning alongside coaches from across the country. We discussed biomechanics, motor preferences, player development, and new coaching strategies that I’ll continue bringing into lessons. One takeaway that really stood out came from Auburn pitching coach Ryker Chason: the earlier athletes begin strength and conditioning, the better. Building strength isn’t something to wait on—it’s part of developing healthy, durable, and powerful athletes.
​
I’m also honored to have been promoted to Elite 3 Instructor within Foster Fastpitch. Continuing my education and growing as a coach has always been a priority, and I’m excited to bring everything I’ve learned back to the athletes at The Circle Fastpitch
Strength and conditioning continues to be built into every lesson. From mobility and activation to power development and posterior chain strength, we’re preparing athletes not only to throw harder, but to move better, stay healthier, and handle the demands of a long season.
​
Fall ball is right around the corner, and this is one of the best opportunities to make adjustments. It’s a season to develop new pitches, improve movement patterns, compete with confidence, and prepare for the spring. Growth happens when athletes are willing to work on their weaknesses before they become strengths.
On a personal note, I’ve been challenging myself to become more disciplined by getting my workouts in first thing each morning. Small decisions, repeated consistently, lead to big results over time. It’s the same mindset I encourage every athlete to adopt—discipline beats motivation.
​
August also happens to be my birthday month, and I’ll be taking a few days to enjoy some time at the beach before jumping into another exciting season of training.
Here’s to another month of learning, growing, and continuing to raise the standard.
Our Upcoming Clinics

Live Pitch Hit gives pitchers the chance to face live batters in game-like situations while receiving real-time feedback and adjustments from Coach Carollin. Each pitcher throws multiple innings against hitters, learning how to work the strike zone, manage counts, and compete with confidence. Hitters gain extra live at-bats, and catchers find value receiving reps from behind the plate while also hitting.
This clinic is perfect for athletes just starting their pitching journey! In this clinic, players will learn grips, mechanics, and drills that build a strong foundation. We focus on body awareness, spin, and confidence—so pitchers leave with the tools and “homework” to keep improving at home. Small group setting, positive coaching, and the perfect place to begin inside the circle.
