My DD is 13 and has been pitching for 5 years. Over that span, she's been with 3 different coaches but all with similar style (long loose arm, no HE, I/R-like, Denny Tincher-style). I liked them all. DD worked with coach #2 every 1-2 weeks until she moved from the area. Coach #3 is great, but availability is intermittent - we've only had 3 lessons in 4 months. I don't think DD is suffering from that...yet.
I do a pretty good job of taking mental notes during the lessons and I try to reinforce these items when I'm working with DD. DD has some ability to self-correct, but other flaws linger. I am left to wonder whether DD would be better off with more regular lessons...even with a coach that might be a step down from coach #3.
Am I making too much of this? Is there an appropriate lesson frequency for her level of experience? Given that DD isn't a beginner, should the lesson frequency/infrequency be an issue?
