We are going to try a new pitch coach, we really appreciate all the help you have given us the last couple years.

I respectfully disagree with Quincy, sort of. While I agree that you don't "owe" him/her anything, you paid for the service. But, I would say if the coach asks why you're leaving BE HONEST. Who knows, maybe the coach will do some research and see the light. I don't believe ANY coach is intentionally teaching bad things, doing it with malice. The Hello Elbow coaches BELIEVE in what they are teaching. And if you tell them why you're leaving, maybe that coach will look at themselves and look at this board (or even better still... buy all my videos which I will discount for him/her!!) and see the light.
Odds are, if you've been with them for 2 years, the coach will ask why you're leaving. If they don't ask, then they don't really care and it's probably all about the money for them. I'm not saying this makes me a better human being or anything but, I send emails to former student parents who have left me, for various reasons, and ask how the daughter is doing, how she's pitching, staying healthy, etc. I know some have left to go to other coaches, either because of travel distance, or because they were convinced by someone they could acheive the same results by doing easier work, or, maybe I did one of my magic lessons and fixed them after only 1 hour!!!!!! But, I care about the kids I see, especially the ones who've been with me for a while. So I would want to know why she's leaving. And find out how she's doing later.
But if he does ask, tell him the truth. What is the worst that will happen... maybe he'll do some homework, like you did, to see the light! Call it tough love.
