You're Not Alone
MANY ATHLETES WANT TO LEVEL UP BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START
They practice constantly, hear different advice from every direction, and start to doubt themselves when it doesn’t show up in games. Parents want to support their daughter, but don’t always know the right path to take.
The problem isn’t effort—it’s missing structure, clear direction, and confidence.
About Shayla
Instruction led by a former pitcher focused on up-to-date, proven methods
Â
I started pitching when I was 8 years old then competed at the D1 level. I was not aware of how unprepared I was until I got to KSU. I truly wish I would’ve had more resources during my softball journey. That is why I have created this platform. I want pitchers to have what I didn’t. They need structure and someone to push them out of their comfort zone. They need a mentor that they can depend on as they advance.Â

Breaking it Down
The Fuel and Fire Approach
1. The What
Pitchers will learn to ask the right "what" questions to begin self-correcting mechanics: What did I feel? What do I need to focus on?
2. The When & Where
Asking "when" and "where" helps pitchers tune into their body. When do I release? Where should my hand be on a curveball?
3. The Why
When pitchers grasp "why" things happen, they can make lasting corrections. Why is the ball high? Why is my changeup too fast?
"Shayla is an amazing pitching instructor. She teaches the girls how to pitch as well as builds mental toughness. She is very patient and will break it down for the pitcher if needed."
