Performing in Softball - Speed Isn't Everything

This is title of one of the threads on my discussion forum in referring to pitching.

While it's true, speed sure helps.

In fact, what do you need to succeed on a softball field in general?

Here's my take:

1) Great technical skills
2) Confidence
3) Power
4) Mental toughness
5) Decision-making skills
6) Speed

And you could throw in the mix some personality traits like…

- Passion
- Determination
- Competitiveness
- Etc.

These are the probably the most important elements you need to be successful on the field.

Please let me know what you thought of this post... I'm dying to find out...
