My DD1 (who was the graceful one that clipped her chin) has tried for years to gain weight. Entered her freshman year at 117. Her school was not trying to BULK her up, but since she is a lefty slapper/OF, they were working on her core, her upper body strength, and her legs. She gained 10 lbs. She is a Junior now, and still is trying to stay at 127, but is fit, not bulky and not trying to be. Her coaches work differently for the position played.
DD2, went to school a little heavy, but came home 20lbs lighter, but much more fit. They lift, work core, she rides a bike and they swim. The swimming is great as it works so much of her upper body for her pitching. They work on the backstroke to work the muscles in her back. She says its a lot of work, but she is doing it.
One I had to get clothes bigger, the other cloths smaller. I like that the coaches are all doing their workouts according to the position and what will help them.
