Hitting camp and lessons

This past weekend Alicia attended a hitting clinic at the UNC Chapel Hill campus. This is her in the picture with one of the players and the head coach.

Alicia was very disappointed that her team has taken the month of November and December off from training. She feels it is very important to continue to practice. Alicia's love is softball and though others choose to play other sports she continues to work on her game. Her pitching coach, Vanessa, always stresses muscle memory and when you play other sports you will be using different muscles in different ways. If she continues to work on her softball game her muscle memory with be increased.

Alicia has recently started working with Gwen Johnson, a part time coach at UNCG, to improve her hitting. Gwen was one of UNCG's toughest hitters. She is not only teaching Alicia the skills of hitting but also the mental attitude.

Alicia Stealing bases

This weekend Alicia played in the IFA Winter World Series at Proliefic Park in Greensboro. This first picture is her lead off on first base.

The next picture if you look real close you can see the ball has not reached the batter yet and Alicia is off and running.






When Alicia was on third base there was a passed ball by the catcher of the Triad Power and Alicia came in to score. Alicia was very aggressive on the bases this weekend and loves to steal ( bases that is). :)
