You have that right.

You can't worry about what others think - the true friends and family will support your kid no matter if she gives up no runs or ten.
Thanks - We go to a Tincher Coach...... And that's the other thing..... for a 9/10 year old to learn that Rotation throw.... Jesus!!!!! So many things to go wrong.
I almost also regret starting her with Tincher - But, again, we'll see. I think Denny is coming to our town in a few months so, we'll see him... And I read his blog.
What also sucks about youth Sports and Pitching is that in the Rec leagues I see... the team that celebrates, Carries the trophy off the field and gets all the glory on Facebook is the same team coaches that cried all year about having no pitching and it not being fair..... So instead of Growing pains of working thru 2-3 girls learn a windmill, they trot out Girls just lobbing the ball and Win it all.....
So, the girls that Work at it 100x more get Zero Reward.....
This is actually one of the toughest things about being the pitcher's parent. When there's eight other girls out there, and they've all worked really hard and they all want to win, and your daughter goes out and walks in three runs to start the game, the silence of the other parents can be deafening. But there's really nothing to say, except to cheer when someone makes a play, and encourage the girls to get those runs back when they get up at bat. And remember, every player's parent has seen their daughter muff a catch, botch a throw, and strike out in a key situation. It's part of the game.

I wish we never started pitching - seemed like fun.. "Daddy I want to pitch"... Oh Sureeeeeee.. Good Times...
I don't let her know my feelings but, It's not enjoyable at all....
I really don't know why anyone pitches other than some sick Mega Athlete...
And I know kids experience "Failure" at other sports but, do you need to be THE ONE out there all alone with the entire Game / Season / Team on your back????
So, we're spending every other day of a kids life throwing a ball just to be the freaking Pinata????
