Amy, that's funny too. Glad she got the drills so she didn't have to bother with instruction. Because we all know a PC doesn't actually add any value at all.
As for the "instant pitcher," a few years ago I was asked by the freshman HS coach to help with my daughter's team. One thing she had me doing was trying to get a volunteer to become competent enough to pitch so my daughter didn't have to throw 5 games during the week and both ends of a double header. She was realistic in her expectations. But then the varsity coach talked about having me develop a few girls like that as fill-ins. I told him what I needed in terms of space, equipment and time commitment on the part of the girls and that was the end of that. Guess if I was any good I would've just waved my magic wand and given him a stable of pitchers.
