To @uncdrews point you can't just watch the videos and be a great pitching coach but you can learn the basics and fundamentals and become a good pitching coach. The caveat is, at least in my opinion, that you have to not just watch
you have to do the drills yourself and actually pitch yourself. I was completely spoiled in that DD loved catching but was alway #2 or #3 catcher so she loved getting reps by catching me. I got to the point where I could throw BP from the pitching plate to my 12U girls. To be fair it took months and while not a super athlete or anything I am fairly athletic and coordinated.
I would definitely read and watch the videos in the sticky thread, Hillhouse and Tincher videos are good source on youtube (but be careful there is a lot of garbage out there too). Do you have any idea what girls are coming out for the team?
