Montreal, Quebec -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/18/2011 -- A top softball coach recently said in a statement that softball players should go online if they want to learn softball skills such as hitting a softball. This is contrary to what many coaches say about training for the game where hitting drills are done on the softball field.

Softball coach Mark Mulvany, however, clarified his statement, saying that what he meant was that there are already plenty of resources available to players today that all one needs is an internet connection to learn more how to become a better softball player.

Mulvany was quoted as saying that, "of course players still need the help of a coach and train on the softball field. But watching softball hitting videos online can supplement whatever a player has already learned from his peers and coaches."

The coach also said that what's happening today is a revolution since not only are there are wealth of information around, many of these are also free. He added, however, that to maximize these resources, players should also invest in paid materials such as books, e-books, CDs and DVDs that can be easily ordered online.

Also, the internet has 'democratized' every softball player's access to information, according to Mulvany. "So whether you are in New York or in Beijing, you will get the same helpful information and apply it to your own game. That's something that wasn't really possible or at least difficult to pull off in the past," the coach said.

Mulvany has also jumped into the revolution with his website Softball Hitting Online. As the name suggests, the website provides players and even coaches information on softball hitting techniques, and other essential things related to hitting a softball. Many of the information provided there are free, while others require a free membership.

Coach Mulvany was quick to add that interested individuals could access members-only portions of the site for free for a limited time period to enable them to see the wealth of information that are available to them.

Montreal, Quebec -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/18/2011 -- A top softball coach recently said that players miss out on a lot of skills when they focus only on softball batting drills.

"Batting is only one aspect of the game, which deals with offense. Now, how would take care of defending your bases when you're playing defense?" was the question Coach Mark Mulvany raised for softball players who he thinks aren't taking a holistic approach towards their training.

Aside from that, Coach Mulvany also said that beginners should focus on the fundamentals first before going into more challenging aspects of the game. "They are called fundamentals for a reason. That's because they should be the foundation of your game," adding that players would depend on these fundamentals whatever skill level they reach eventually.

Mulvany however said that he wasn't discounting the importance of softball hitting drills and learning the proper softball batting techniques. In fact, he said that softball hitting is important because it's what gives teams points that ultimately win the game. "Just don't forget that softball isn't just about racking up points. Great defense helps protect your lead by keeping your opponents from scoring."

Meanwhile, those who wish to improve their softball hitting skills can visit Coach Mulvany's website at http://www.softballhittingonline.com. It contains drills and tutorials on how to hit the ball better and more accurately.
