About a year ago I started the journey switching my then 13 year old daughter over from "HE" to I/R using strictly info from this board and have had great success with it. She is doing great and actually has pitches that spin the right way and also has great movement. About eight month,s ago my 10 year old decided she wanted to try her hand at pitching, so I started working with her also. In less than three months she was pitching games and looking just as good or better than a lot of the girls that take lessons from paid pitching coaches. I watch local girls all the time pitch tournaments, and I stand there and think about all the stuff that I could help them with that would make them better pitchers. In my area, there are very very few pitching coaches teaching I/R (and at this point few pitching coaches at all); and many girls are driving at least 40 miles to go to lessons. I have been thinking for a while now about possibly trying to get started as a pitching coach. My job allows me the time it would take to do it and while I am no expert, I feel confident that I could teach someone that is willing to learn. In dealing with my two daughters, I quickly found out that it really is a marathon and not a sprint. I have learned that there are some days that they just don't have their head in it and there is no need getting upset because it won't change a thing. I don't have a huge softball background, nor do I have coaching credentials, but what I do have is a love for the game, a desire to help any girl that needs help, and a willingness to keep learning myself to help others. Is this crazy? If so please let me know. If it is not crazy, what is the best way to get started without offending anyone? As always, I am FOREVER grateful to this site and the people that contribute to it.
