You said,"or to talk about all the all state pitchers they've produced, it makes you lose credibility. This thread is so funny. "I think it becomes very easy to give props to the pitching instructor your daughter sees, and think they are the best. However, sometimes the blinders need to be removed. Unfortunately when comments like "not just cashing your check each week" or to talk about all the all state pitchers they've produced, it makes you lose credibility. This thread is so funny.
There are quite a few very credible instructors that are in it for the girls and do it to help the girls. There are also ones that aren't in it for the right reason and do just "cash your check each week" It would be interested to hear turn over rate from some of these instructors? Obviously you have to find the right coach for your DD, but when you are expecting have a private lesson with a coach and you show up and there are two or three other girls there at the same time, that is not fair or conducive to the girls.
My hope is for each girl to find a coach they like, and to enjoy the journey. There is no guarantee that each girl will get a scholarship, but if the girl enjoys pitching and has a good time with the coach, and they are improving, isn't that what matters?
One would think if an instructor has been a good enough instructor to have coached "several" kids to All State status, or to a college scholarship, it just might lend some credibility to his methods. I see nothing wrong with that, and certainly I do not find it "funny"
