What Real Pitching Development Looks Like: A KVS Mentorship Story

From Lessons to Mentorship

Alyssa didn’t come into the KVS Mentorship Program just looking for more reps, more

pitches or even more speed. She wanted to:

• Build confidence on the mound

• Understand why she was throwing certain pitches

• Learn how to compete under pressure

• Learn how to make adjustments.

• Take ownership of her development

Through long-term mentorship, Alyssa learned how to prepare, make adjustments, and trust herself — skills that go far beyond the bullpen.

Watch one of her shares during a lesson on working through a high-pressure situation.

A Parent’s Perspective Matters

One of the most powerful parts of this conversation is hearing from Veronica.

From a parent’s perspective, she shares how Alyssa:

• Gained confidence and maturity

• Improved communication with coaches

• Learned accountability and ownership

• Grew not just as a pitcher, but as a young athlete

This is exactly why the KVS Mentorship Program is structured the way it is. Pitching development isn’t just physical — it’s mental and emotional, too.

What the KVS Mentorship Program Is Really About

The KVS Mentorship Program is not built around quick fixes or short-term results.

It’s built around:

• Long-term athlete development

• Clear communication and expectations

• Mental toughness and confidence

• Intentional training with purpose

• Learning new pitches as each pitcher grows

• Increasing speed while growing to reach their goals

• Learning how to own your opportunity through mental training

Pitchers who thrive are the ones who communicate and commit to the process and trust the timeline — not the ones chasing instant results.
