Damn defensive they are worse for DD then other pitchers! Hate them all, coaches too for putting DD in that position.
I'm an outlier in most aspects of my life, so I guess I'm one in this respect too!
In my experience, pitcher's parents are LEAST likely to be in the .002% category.
I'm poking a little fun. I have met quite a few parents and parent-coaches that are realistic about their kid's abilities. That said, I've met plenty of crazies, too.
Well, you're a softball parent - so yeah, crazy. Mad hatter stuff here.Ok, I starting to wonder if I am crazy (well, crazier than I am already aware of). My DD is 9 and as far as I can tell is a decent pitcher. She is on a pretty good 10u TB team as the #2 pitcher and I am one of the AC's. Recently two other teams have shown interest in her to come play for them and their coaches have expressed how impressed they are with her pitching. Maybe I am missing something, or maybe its because coaches are always harder on their own kids but I just dont see it yet. Yes, she is working hard and has shown good improvement over the last few months but I still dont see what they are seeing. She still struggles with consistency regularly. Anyone else see their DD differently than others do??
