Introducing one of our Junior Coaches, Maddy Specht who was also a long time Innovative Fastpitch player.  

Maddy is currently a Rowan University student and has played softball since the age of 4.  She played for Eastern High School and for the South Jersey Gators.  She continued playing softball in college until she unfortunately suffered a career-ending injury.  If anyone understands the importance of proper mechanics, arm care and stretching, it is Maddy.

​

Being primarily a pitcher and looking back, Maddy now has a deeper understanding of how to help other pitchers properly care for their arm throughout their pitching career to help prevent injury.  Maddy also played middle infield and outfield as well as was a strong hitter.

​

Her biggest philosophy is stretching and shoulder care.  Now looking back, she realizes she never emphasized stretching, took that advice or aspect of the game as seriously as she should have.  TWO shoulder surgeries in one year was NOT worth neglecting the "boring" focuses of arm care.  She now really understands this and helps her players to find ways to truly understand this as well.

​

Maddy connects with her athletes and aspires to help them embrace who they are as well as who they can become.  Watching them grow and learn in not only softball knowledge and skills but also as a person is rewarding to Maddy.  She believes in building confidence among all her players!
