I've got one right now that the dad is having hard time with. She's a late starter at pitching, 11, and immediately was super hard on herself when she started pitching games because she had to catch up so fast. It's been and year and half now and she still loses her composure on the mound. Not real sure what to do with this kid because she loses composure with me in the class, she is so bad she loses composure just talking to me about her game.
She's extremely emotional. She's a good pitcher now, has moved up to 12u tournament ball and will be moving up in the fall to 14u tournament ball. Dad isn't sure if she's ever going to make it as a pitcher due to her extreme mood swings.
How does she handle stress and failure off the field? Wonder if there wouldn't be some real-life benefit to getting together with a mental coach.
