I'm going to throw this question out there that I'm sure is asked monthly, if not seasonally. What do you do (or don't) with the youth team pitching coach?
To further explain I'll give an example...
Last night my DD had her first Little League Softball practice. Along with her parents, travel team, and pitching coach DD has no shortage of advice. DD plays in a league that drafts the pitchers first. After a half dozen warm up pitches the coaches thought it would be wise to have her throw batting practice to her teammates. After bruising a few kids they let a coach step in.
After practice on our way to car one of the coaches said Hello to my wife and I and asked if our DD had a pitching instructor and that she was able to help "fix/correct" any of her issues. I think DD has done well up to this point and the team coaches could not be far from that either... other wise why draft her?
Any suggestions for what to do with the youth team pitching coach ?
