Very rarely does my daughter's pitching coach catch her for a lesson. 90% of the time I catch for my daughter, the other 10% of the time it is my son or the catcher from her high school team.

We're making to trek out to see Jon in a few weeks. We have almost 6 hours scheduled. I hope he doesn't want me to catch that entire time. I can handle an hour, but there's no way I could do six in two days.

PC will and has caught for my dd. But I do it 95% of the time. She spends most of her time next to / behind my dd. Uses video to show dd what she is / is not doing. Starting this past fall she started spending time behind me like an ump.

You’ve got a couple of weeks, start hitting the gym!!!! Are you comfortable with one knee down? I find my shoulder goes before my legs do.

Jonathan might be able to find you catcher for some of the time slots if you ask. Not sure what the going rate is for a catcher but he usually has a few girls that are nearby. Jonathan could also catch some. During a one hour lesson I would say I am catching for my daughter for less than a 1/2 hour. They spend a good amount of time throwing into a tarp.

I hope so. I don't feel like lugging my catchers gear on the plane with me.

When DD went to Maddie Penta's mother for lessons she would catch her. I offered many times and she declined. Said she needed to see the spin and feel the velocity.
