Hillhouse comes to Arkansas every month and has many girls driving from Tenn, Texas to do lessons with him. My DD has been seeing him for 4 months.
Yes I was in fact and thats whose dad i was referring to. I was there with my daughter and he was VERY nice to share their story with us. My daughter is 10 and pitches and she is still talking about the opportunity to talk to him. It still amazes me that he was her pitching coach up till signing with MU. I very much appreciate the info from you on his reference to the punch change and him taking the time to visit with a total stranger and a daughter who loves the game.
Ok on another note, there is another gentleman who I won't list by name , who has said that we need to get my daughter to Doug. I somewhat know Doug's story, but how do you get a lesson with him. His facility is in MI.....I'm in MO, of course. She is scheduled to go to the MU camp ....both pitching session and regular camp and I'm assuming he will be there...just curious how one goes about getting one of the best pitching coaches in the country to give some pointers to your kiddo. How did you do it? Are you doing the video lesson deal that he offers.
I'd appreciate any info that you could offer on the doug gillis opportunity.
Thanks coach Kirk...much appreciated. We take weekly pitching lessons now so I'm just struggling with the whole over the web thing. I think I may see who things go after her pitching clinic at MU in June. I will keep exploring this for more details. Pitching coaches in the Columbia area are not real easy to find so I hate to lose what I have by trying to find greener pastures. I know there are things she needs to fix...ie leaning....getting better but still an issue.
I very much appreciate your input on Doug and the punch change. I have some video clips of her pitching. I may try to figure out ow to get them on here. This is,like my 4th post so not sure I am savvy enough to upload a you tube link.
