Jay Bolden of BeBold Fastpitch and St. Xavier University, and Ken Krause of Softball Success and the Life in the Fastpitch Lane blog, talk with fastpitch and specialty coaches about their lives, their journeys, and their thoughts on a variety of topics related to the sport of fastpitch softball.
Jay and Ken speak with Karl Gollan, former superstar men's pitcher, about his years dominating international competition with the New Zealand Black Sox, how he got into coaching, his years as a collegiate pitching coach (including stints with the University of Iowa and at Utah), and his current position developing pitchers for the Iowa Premier Fastpitch organization. He also shares what he learned in his first coaching job with the Black Sox, why generating energy in pitching is only part of the battle, what he thinks of the current obsession with data, how he uses that data to help pitchers, his opinion on the screwball, and much more. It's a great conversation with one of the best the sport has ever known.
