Sometimes I have questions I want to run by you all - but then I think it's probably that we just don't practice enough.
My DD likes pitching. She likes practicing. But she also likes crocheting, sewing, watching silly comedies and cooking shows, playing with the cats, swimming, working on her hitting and fielding, having straight A's and doing the work to keep those, working on the plays and drama class and helping with the sets and costumes, hanging with a friend once in a while, hanging with the family (not at the ballpark) once in a while and probably some other things that I'm missing.
So honestly our practice can vary from 1-2 times a week and rarely 3 (on top of games). I read on here that people pitch every day or 4 days a week and I just don't know how they fit it all in. I work full time (way more than full time part of the year) and have a 2 hour commute each day so my time with her is also limited and I'm the main practice partner. Maybe this next year when she can drive we can have her initiate more practice time with other players so that might help. Does anyone make it to some level of college ball as a 2 day a week practicer??
So sometimes I want to say how come one day the DB is right on and the RB sucks and other days it's the complete opposite. Or should we work on the back toe drag more. Or is this screw/scrise worth working on. But then I decide we are just getting what we are getting because this is a small piece of our lives and probably can't expect much improvement from here on out I'd think.
