Megan Carver, Cascade Auburn Middle School

.

LFA 12u

"Pitcher of the Year"

.

Never give up attitude and hard work pays off for Megan Carver and and undefeated Fall season for her school team at Cascade Auburn Middle School.

.

"Megan tried pitching last year and had some results but was not totally satisfied. She took some time off from LFA Academy and played mostly infield spots with Acers Kasner 12u for 2009 regular season. Adam has brought her speed up and cleaned-up her mechanics. He also worked on her 'mental game' and put her on a high calorie diet which included peanut butter and jelly sandwitches. Megan goes hard for 3 hour practices with Acers then another 2 hours per week with Coach Adam. It was the middle of Summer and Megan wanted back on the mound. I took her to LFA Pitching Camps and Adam kicked her butt in shape, made her arm much stronger and Megan did the rest, I asked her if she can make the committment and she said alright. " dad, Chuck Carver

"I know Megan works hard at what she wants in everything she puts her mind to. We appreciated her efforts with Adam." mom, Jen Carver

.

"This time with a new attitude and hard work paid off big time. I only know of one other team this year that went undefeated and it was a high school team I was a pitching coach for, 4a Emerald Ridge. You ask anyone two years prior if that team could go all the way and you would have laughed. Pitching is everything when it comes to going all the way. Someone strong and with a never give up attitude has to be on the mound leading the charge to such a goal. It sounds far fetched I know... but for me and my pitchers we have a mind-set. Our minds are on the same page and intensity level...go hard to win or go home crying after losing. Winning is not everything to a development recreational team. Try telling that to someone at LFA training camp where winning is everything to a pitcher. These young ladies work harder than any team or club or academy out there. I don't know how to go soft or train for average. Why would you train someone to have a chance of losing. This is not my style and it is not what my pitchers want. The parents go for it!! Once they see a change in their daughter's new attitude, then new player-new person, they just love that about training at LFA. The LFA Pitcher works hard and knows this to be part of a winning philosophy or success recipe."

Congratulations Megan, I am very proud of your major accomplishment at Cascade Middle School and your personal dedication as a person!!
