Alissa speaks on the reason why she chose to study with Tincher Pitching:
“I chose to join the Tincher organization because I admire Denny’s dedication to injury prevention. His emphasis on the breakdown of fluid mechanics is teaching the next generation of pitching in the right way. As someone who dealt with nagging injuries throughout college, I now hope to play my part in teaching and furthering research in injury prevention. And I believe utilizing the Tincher methods are the best way to do so. I’m excited to grow my pitching knowledge through this organization and cannot wait to see the long term results.”

Denny says he is very confident in Alissa. Here’s what he has to say: “Wow, she is bright!   Alissa has pitched at the highest levels and she brings that point of view to our organization.  She has that wonderful combination of being demanding and understanding to each student and she knows exactly when to apply each.  She will help all of us do a better job.”

Alissa will serve in the Gainesville/Newberry areas of Florida.
