Just venting here a little bit and see if anyone else runs into this. My DD is a pitcher. Seems like every time I talk (last nights was the worse) to a parent about pitching they ask who are pitching coach is and then if they don't use the person the jabs start coming.
Last night it was the "She's horrible" bit, and she doesn't teach speed so you're daughter will never throw fast, etc. etc. etc. etc. The parent that did that is the mother of a daughter who is phenomenal pitcher. 9th grader and already has colleges drooling. I would never even think of my kid being in that position she just doesn't have the DNA. She just likes to play and likes to pitch and does a pretty good job of it.
Seriously, I have no designs on ripping your pitching coach. In fact I respect every one of them and what they do. I do have one that I'm not too thrilled about but it's because she blatantly undermined my daughters relationship with her Travel Ball coach (probably why I love our pitching coach so much, she would never do such a thing to anyone).
So, anyone else get bored about having their coaches ripped on for no reason other than someone's need to feel superior?
The other thing is this softball thing is a small community. I have no designs on ripping somebody I may have to deal with at some point. The fact that other parents don't seem to mind doing that boggles me to no end.
