Graham,Washington Fastpitch Rising Star



"KC" Cearley
.
"Pitcher of the Year "
south puget sound
A Rising Star In Graham Washington
.

Congratulations to Kelsey Cearley for her LFA Award for outstanding achievements in 2008-2009 Season, MVP. "KC" played school ball and for ASA/NSA level and organization Sudden Impact 14 u. Winning games in both areas and championships. "KC" has trained very hard with coach Adam and assistant camp coach Terry Cearley and it shows. Coach Terry: "She really works hard at being the best she can be. We have her on a high protein diet and complex carbs, no wheat gluten diet. KC is very lean and with that has turned into a top athletic utility player, not just a pitcher. She also slaps and gets on base and gets home any way she can. Adam and her Sudden Impact coaches have done well with her."
.

Graham, Washington is known for it's spectacular views of Mt Rainier and spectacular fastpitch softball players. I had the pleasure of training some very good players in the Graham and Puyallup area over the past 5 years. One of it's legends, Taylor Thompson "The Slapper" will be leaving soon and making room for the next, possible High School greats and the next legend. What makes a legend? Ask any big college recruiter or coach and they will tell you someone with dedication to fastpitch and growing in their position, with determination to win and being a dependable person. A player that can be counted on time and time again in all areas of fastpitch on and off the field. Kelsey Cearley is a rising star in Graham,WA. Now pitching for Spark 14u out of Federal Way,Washington for the 2010 season.
.

Coach Adam: I really did not know what to expect from day 1 training Kelsey as a pitcher 2 years ago. Let's just say she was unassuming. Very small in size for her age group, 11 at the time. KC had a work ethic you're not used to seeing in a beginning pitcher back then. In less than 6 months she went from learning how to throw a fastball for location, "spot", to winning several championships with her team Sudden Impact 12u. That's not supposed to happen, its rare. Sudden Impact became a dominant force overnight. The parents started with 2 players and built the team from there, holding tryouts and recruiting local fastpitch trainers to send their top players their way.
Dad Terry: " I think she likes it? One thing she is good at is learning new things. KC likes to be active and wants to be the one in the spotlight, especially at home challenging her older sister Kayla and everyone in the house at everything. Kayla was the first to play softball then KC.
She did pretty well at Western Worlds and had quite a few strike outs and slap hits. At Summer camp she has improved her speed on her riseball and perfecting her change up. Really it comes down to practice-practice-practice."
.
KC has performed excellent in the spotlight for Sudden Impact the last two seasons. What I am enjoying the most as her Pitching Coach is KC's ability to learn new grips and pitches or "tweek" an existing pitch to make it better. Not every pitcher has that ability at her age and level."Now in 2009 KC is doing it all again...pitching,hitting,slap-hitting.
Coach Adam: Fall Season Training has started and KC is doubling-up on her pitching training for the 2009-2010 Season. Her goal is to increase her location and overall speed and power. At only 80 pounds.
" KC is one of the strongest pound for pound pitchers I have ever trained. An inspirational athlete. Sometimes you don't know if the next season will be there for her as a pitcher? She is just so compact as an athlete and you wonder if she is going to grow physically? The key to her success, KC is an athlete, dedicated to her diet,training program and brings the attitude that she can do anything with a softball!! I like that about KC. She never gives up no matter what. I have pitchers twice her sized observing KC's pitching bio-mechanical dynamics, otherwise known as her style and technique. It's different than the fundamental application to pitching basics. KC has trained to use physics, not pitching basics, to give her the edge at 80+ pounds. If KC get her arm to move faster as a whip instead of just a big strong arm that moves slow compared to most heavier pitchers, she will continue to improve and reach her next potential. With several championships under her belt, that kind of quantum momentum can give an 80 pound pitcher a huge psychological advantage over her beefier competition."
.
"If I can use my muscles efficiently, gain leverage with the front foot landing, combine my forward movement with more momentum my pitches will be faster...all of them." KC.
.
At the 2009 Ice Breaker Tournament, KC pitched a no-hitter, beat the #1 Team in the Tournament from Seattle and drove in RBI's as a slap hitter winning 15-1 in her first game!
Congratulations KC!

Cydni Mason 11 year old, LFA 12u Champions Circle Award

Coach Kelli assists Cydni with the perfect Riseball

"Perfect Balance"

At age 11 Cydni learns the mechanics of the Riseball

LFA camp member, Cydni Mason, 12u

"12u Champions Circle Award"
.

“ 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 so I had to increase lesson times with Adam. At LFA Pitching Camps in Tacoma/Puyallup, 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 from Northern State University showed her the ropes to the perfect Riseball that she has been perfecting with Coach Adam at his Advanced Camp for High School and 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. ”

About Coach Adam

.
Known for developing Champion Pitchers of all ages, coach Adam has brought 22 years of Sports Training experience to Fastpitch Softball and mainly he focuses on creating dominating Pitchers. From Strike Zone in Seattle to Competitive Edge in Puyallup, he will go just about anywhere to train a potential Champion. Adam's long-term goal is to go back to his pre-Olympic days of competing for a spot on the Olympic Wrestling Team. This time as an Olympic Coach for another country.

.

" I trained for the US Marine Weightlifting Team after leaving Quanico Virginia in 1985. I did not make the Wrestling Team that went on to compete for spots on the US Olympic Team, 7 Marines did! I had my chance and I went for it. Being a Marine first was top of the order however. I was transfered to Japan to guard the shores of the Russian boarder between Japan and Russia. I also was able to compete in weightlifting and with the best in the world for the US Team there. " Adam

.

It was later, while raising his goddaughter Shay, that I learned about Fastpitch Softball when Shay was 11 years old. She asked me to coach her team and I learned all I could. What I did not know till later, 5 years later, Shay would be one of the top 10 pitchers in the Nation in 2006. I had to learn with her so I could pitch to her for batting practice and I just fell in love with learning to pitch the different spins. Mark Anderton was my teacher, one of the best in the world on the subject. I learned all I could from Mark and went to other teachers. I learned all I could and added dynamic forces to the mechanics I learned. Now we are seeing pitchers all over the Puget Sound throwing advanced pitches very fast. It's still fun even though I miss watching Shay's games. We all do.

Adam loves fastptich and currently is a reserve pitcher for The Wolverines Mens Fastpitch Team. He enjoyed playing Mens Local Fastpitch 8 years ago in Seattle and could see some time on the mound in 2009. Adam is well known in Western Washington for training pitching powerhouse 4a Emerald Ridge High School to an undefeated 2009 season. Coach Wardle received "Coach of the Year" for his outstanding leadership and Team management approach with the seniors on the team. Wardle trusted Adam with training his pitchers and was invited to Team practices from 2007-2009 and learned all he could about the pitching game.
.
Adam began training Alexa Derrick, starting pitcher at Emerald Ridge in her sophomore year in 2007 at Competitive Edge. " We trained and trained and trained. Her Grandpa Will Derrick was responsible for recruiting coach Adam to train Alexa. " I liked how he was training Kelli Bornander. We tried Lance but it did not work out. She was nursing an injury at that time, so Lance had to be carefull. I wanted Alexa to heal fast so she could train with Adam. Yes, they trained very hard and anywhere they could at any time. It was not long before Alexa picked up Adam's lessons and teaching style, "very agressive" with no-excusses or nonsensical behavior or talking back to him. The respect was there and the disciplined followed. I just made sure she showed up. Sometimes Alexa (soph. year) would run off to a pizza party and forget about her lessons with Adam so I would go after her and bring her back to Competitive Edge for her pitching lessons, and sometimes I had to track down Adam if he promised to be at her game or tournament to evaluated her, ...that was my job." - Grandpa Will

.

Alexa was awarded All League 1st Team and Pitcher of the Year. Alexa will be on the mound in 2010 for Columbia Basin College in Eastern,WA.
.
Adam trained Camile Depew, High scool League MVP and District runner up winner and All State Pitcher/Hitter from Seattle Lutheran in 2008. Trained with Camile Depew 3 years prior when Camile was 13 years old playing for WST 14u. Camile now plays for Shoreline CC and is an All Conference award winner batting 0.465. Camile will be pitching for SCC next season possibly at the starting spot.

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.
.
Carly 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. " -Melissa Musser

thletes always require mental toughness: our athletes need to concentrate, focus, and mentally resist fatigue when basic physiological functions start to break down..
The physical requirements for the Adult Athletic Conditioning Class will be based on a progressive measurement of improvement. We believe that testing and tracking are extremely important to athletic development.
.
All participants will begin our program in the ‘beginner’ stage of each class will be based on the specific demands of the sport or desired outcome. For example, we will not test football players on the exact same exercises that we test baseball players.

I thought we were just going to hit softballs. Adam kicked my butt into a conditioning program with jump-ropes,power stretching, warm-up runs-cool down runs, 50 swings off the "T" before I even stepped up to the plate. He made sure I understood what an athlete needs to do before swinging a $400 bat. I thought I needed to just hit balls. It was an education on Training Properly, how to use my body more efficiently and create goals for hitting the long ball. WE were on a 225 foot fenced field. By the end of my training session, I was hitting the fence!!I look forward to also having Adam train my daughter in Fastpitch softball.

.

Thanks so much Adam!!

Washington Powers Past Florida 8-0 in Game One of WCWS Championship

Lawrie struck out 12, walked three and allowed two Gator hits.

.
No. 1/1 University of Florida lost the first game of the Women's College World Series championship series, 8-0, to No. 3/4 Washington.

The Gators (63-4) tallied their first loss in 29 games, breaking the NCAA's longest win streak of the season.Senior Stacey Nelson (Los Alamitos, Calif.) recorded only her fourth loss of the season, allowing five hits and six runs, four earned. The righty (41-4) walked only two and struck out five in the outing.Danielle Lawrie (41-8) recorded the win for the Huskies (50-12), striking out 12, walking three and allowing two Gator hits.The eight-run loss was the worst for Florida since a 10-2 defeat to UCLA on March 3, 2007. Junior Corrie Brooks (Christmas, Fla.) and freshman Michelle Moultrie (Jacksonville, Fla.) recorded the hits for the Gators, as Brooks tallied an infield single in the third and Moultrie nailed a single to left field in the sixth.Washington wasted no time getting on base in the first, but the Gators squashed the Huskies' attempts to cross the plate. Ashley Charters started the game off with a high chopper back to the mound and beat Nelson's throw to first. She then advanced to third on a Gator error on Kimi Pohlman's grounder. With two runners in scoring position, Jennifer Salling grounded to sophomore second baseman Aja Paculba (Wildomar, Calif.) who fired home to senior catcher Kristina Hilberth (Dunedin, Fla.) to tag out Charter and keep the Huskies off the board. Nelson went to work, getting the next batter swinging and next to ground out to end the inning and leave runners stranded at the corners.The Huskies tallied four runs in the third to take the lead. Niki Williams led off the inning with a walk and moved to second on a stolen base. Charters followed with a hard-hit single to second and Pohlman hit a chopper to sophomore shortstop Megan Bush (Anaheim Hills, Calif.), who looked Williams back at third, but could do nothing with the ball.
.
With the bases loaded, Salling nailed a single up the middle, scoring Williams and Charters. Senior center fielder Kim Waleszonia (Fontana, Calif.) fired home to try to get Charters on a close play at the plate and Hilberth then tried to catch Salling advancing to second, but the ball sailed over Bush's head and both runners were able to hustle home to give Washington a 4-0 lead.
.

The Huskies added two more in the fifth with two-outs on a double that hit the center-field wall. After a lead-off walk, the Gators got the next two lead runners at second on groundouts. Lawrie singled up the middle to put runners on first and second and Morgan Stuart nailed her fourth double of the WCWS, a new record, to score her teammates.
.

Sophomore Stephanie Brombacher (Pembroke Pines, Fla.) relieved Nelson in the sixth. After recording two outs, she gave up her fifth home run of the season to Charters to plate two more Huskies and give UW an 8-0 lead.
.
Brombacher allowed two hits, two walks and the two runs in two innings of work.The first time the Gators got two runners on base was in the sixth when Pacubla drew a one-out walk and Moultrie recorded a pinch-hit single to left field. Lawrie forced a groundout and struck out the final out of the inning.

Coach Darin Sugai: "We enjoyed having Coach Adam as our Team Instructor. We began using Adam about 12 months ago for Pitching and Hitting and Conditioning at his Summer Camp. He helped us prepare in the 2008 Fall and then in 2009 Spring Pre-Season as well as continuing throughout the year with our Pitchers on Friday nights. We recommended Adam to Acers 12u where my daughter
Kendahl is a Select pitcher on the team and is a starter.
Coach Jason Kasner: Anna played with the Blue Jays in Olympia and batted .570 with 5 RBI's! The team went 5-0 and WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
"Any team looking for the edge to become more competitive can call coach Adam."

"I was really impressed and very excited. For the past year, we've been working, working, working, and not seeing a lot of increase in speed or power.
With just a few simple observations and tips from you,
I saw a remarkable difference in her throwing.
Carly has a game tonight, and I'm excited to see a difference.
Please let me know if we'll have a set day/ time going forward,
or how the scheduling thing works with you.

Take care,

"Thanks Adam !!!
We are very proud of Stephanie. Sure she had some ups and downs during
the season, but I believe that every pitcher has that.
She is definately growing as not only a pitcher but as an athlete.
We believe that she will lead her school to districts next year.Go Lady Lancers!!
Now that school ball is over she can really focus on the Lady Viks.
I really would like to see her team get to the championship game of a tournament,
they have the talent so I know they can do it.
Steph just needs to keep up the good work and keep her bat going.
She is finding out that the new bat is way better!"
Thanks Adam for all your support.
