You need to find a good teacher of defense as you have found a good hitting teacher and pitching teacher.
This strikes a nerve, because I have heard others say, they don't understand why anyone would pay to have a defensive coach. Wow, that's just silly! How does defense just happen naturally, but hitting and pitching don't? I can see parents saying we just can't handle the time commitment or financial part. Or we are going with hitting lessons over fielding. But, I have seen what 18 months of Kobata lessons can achieve and it just seems right. It was a long haul at first, I didn't really see the foot work or finer details in games right away, but now I realize it was money well spent, it happens naturally in games. And defense wins games, Big D isn't just a saying to us! I'm not saying our dd is the best or even close, but I don't think she would be where she is today, without the training.
