Why did Katie choose Tincher Pitching?
“I was introduced to Tincher Pitching by another certified instructor. Our conversations about fluidity, velocity and injury prevention always left me wanting to learn more. I began training with Denny and started applying Tincher methods in my lessons and was blown away by the results. Pitching can be seen as overly complicated, but with the Tincher Pitching method I see huge jumps in results with keeping movements simple and natural for the female body.As a former collegiate softball pitcher who suffered lower back pain, I wish I had been taught the Tincher Pitching method during my career. This method is easy to understand and apply to self-corrections to make athletes better. It is so exciting to see athletes with previous injuries be able to pitch pain-free! All thanks to the Tincher method and dedicated community of instructors.”
Here is what Denny says about Katie:
“From our very first conversation, I could detect an incredible thirst for knowledge, a drive to be the best. Her questions were very insightful. She grasped concepts quickly. Best of all, she did so with an enthusiasm that is contagious. I see the kids feed off that enthusiasm. That is so important.”
Katie is located on Long Island in Deer Park, NY, currently serving Nassau and Suffolk County.
