My husband thinks he can reinvent pitching mechanics. He said the best instructors are the ones who never pitched but have watched because they haven't learned any bad stuff. He goes on to say that you should use more shoulder, use a follow through because dd is stopping her pitch according to him but the part that got me was he said she must land on her toes and because her toes are not strong enough, she has no other choice but to keep moving forward. At this point, I bust out laughing. I know I shouldn't but I could not help it as dd is trying to make sense and responded with, "oh, I should look like a ballerina." Bad move on my part. He is pissed and looks at me and tells me, "you are the reason she sucks...you ruined her and now I have to try to find a way to fix it." I am shocked he said that and responded with, "you are the only one that thinks that." He then says, '"if she is so great, then why she don't have a D1 scholarship by now." I walked away but it made me think, I really should learn to keep my mouth shut and just grab some popcorn and watch. DD tells me later, "I know how to pitch but I just let him talk because it makes him feel better."
