DD's last year of 12U, second year of pitching. First year of Comp ball..starting pitcher. She's been with a private coach for about a year and a half. Coach is knowledgable and did a great job of breaking down each step of pitching. We see her once a week for 30 mins unless she cancels (we haven't seen her in two weeks). DD hasn't really learned anything new in a few months. She started learning a drop ball but they haven't gotten to practicing it and coach doesn't want her throwing it without her approval.
DD has a change, FB, OS- and is pretty consistent in her spots. We also work with her outside of regular team practices and her lessons. I don't expect miracles with my kid...but I'm feeling like Coach and her just aren't working. Coach takes everything very personal. And if DD rolls her eyes at me for video-taping,
Coach spends 15 minutes lecturing on eye-rolling in the cage. There's a lot of talks and lecturing and no pitching. It's gotten to the point where I don't even go anymore because I just distract the kid and end up talking to coach about how her last clinic was, how her HS team is, etc.
DD has been complaining for at least six months that Coach talks too much. And it's rarely about pitching. Is it time for a new coach? I don't want my kid to think its okay to complain and move on. It doesn't happen in the dugout or in real life. And I don't want her to get a bad rep for being uncoachable (this coach works with a few travel ball teams). I also don't want to waste money. So much pressure in this small world of fastpitch!
