The Kally V. Podcast: Owning Your Opportunity

Hi!! I’m so glad you can make it today! More importantly GOD is Glad you are here!! It is with great hope you are able to listen, lean into and learn about your relationship with Christ. This #devoaday episode is brought to you by KVS Per The Fellowship of Christian Athletes Competitors Bible Devotional May 7th. In this particular episode, I share with you the devotional from the FCA Bible on how to be strong in your weakness. I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all found ourselves in a moment where we feel completely weak or very strong. In this particular devotion, it highlights scripture that will help. You understand what it’s like to be at your strongest through Christ when you’re actually at your weakest. The challenge with keeping your eyes up on God is knowing you have the power to choose to follow his word and know what is like to be strong in him vs strong in the ways of the world. I pray that you are able to lean into the power of God within you as you compete!! Feel free to email me your prayer request at kallyvsoftball@gmail.com or if you are in need of a Bible.

Austin shares how he combines years of experience and education; how he was able to organically construct his multiple High Level throwing Programs and the call that he got one day knowing this was really happening! As a former baseball player himself he mixed his love for how the body should be moving to be strong and prevent injuries. He even talks about when to start teaching young athletes how to have proper movement patterns and answers some of the KVS Coordinated Coaching Members questions! This is another PACKED episode that you may need to go back and listen to again! As a Professional Pitching Coach, I am a FIRM believer in speed will come with proper movement patterns (Mechanics) and to hear Austin state this in this podcast episode was nothing short of confirmation to keep training my girls up the right way and not the "quick, oh my gosh this girls throwing this fast" FOMO type of way. (fear of missing out) Austin shares with you the process of what training with a HLT Coach looks like. From the breakdown of where the athlete is at to the build up of what specific movement patterns they individually need to be executing. By doing this is allows the parents and the coach to truly see where their daughter/athlete is at in her journey and even allows them ALL to see the process of her training to reach her ever so lasting GOALS! We also discuss how doing things like taking your kids outside to be a kid, strength training and proprioception training actually adds value to your kids' athletic abilities as well as preventing them from injuries when they are growing. And if they are a female athlete, when it is her time of the month and how to train differently. TRUST ME! You don't want to miss this episode! The value of the small movement patterns done correctly over time will equal a compound effect of the big movement patterns done healthy, to prevent injuries and also build a better athlete is something that everyone should be doing. No FOMO here just pure knowledge, love for ones craft and value as to how you as a Coach and or parent can BEST support your athletes goals and dreams. Austin says it very clearly that he just wants to help the coach and the instructor!
