Brylee Kelly possesses plenty of power in her arm and athletic ability. Not enough, coaches told her about four weeks ago.
"I realized I really couldn't always score it hitting hard," she said. "I had a conversation with (coaches) and it was something to swallow: They were like 'You don't have a great hand.'"
For Kelly, that meant she hit the ball too often with her fingertips. Contact with more of her hand would give her attacks more power and better accuracy.
"I had never been taught that," she said.
