So my daughter is 8 years old, turning 9 this November. When she started pitching at the very beginning, she was taught Hello elbow style, and as soon as I came across this board and started researching a little bit, I immediately changed her from a more whipping style / I/R release. She just recently visited Bill Hillhouse and she just loved going to him and that one lesson helped her greatly. We look forward to going to see him again.
Anyways, we had practice yesterday and the head coach worked with the pitchers ( he is also a highschool pc) His daughter and the other girl throw HE style and my daughter is the only one that throws like she does. Another girl is debating it and what to go with and they are just looking for a coach that their DD enjoys and really it doesnt matter what style she teaches. Even though their DD has mentioned shoulder pain already.. and the #1 pitcher right now (head coaches DD) usually has to ice her arm after practices.. My DD has never once complained that her arm was getting tired or sore.. I just dont get it...
My DD missed one outside to a RH hitter and he actually said " I dont like that style of pitching".. I was like well i feel it is the better way for her to pitch.. It is a shame that the other two girls are stubborn in their ways and are not really open to change.. I was invited to go to their PC, but i asked what she taught and he said "That HE is the only thing way she teaches". I just wanted to vent... I will have to post some recent videos of my daughter so I can get some more pointers here and continue to take our trip to Bill when we can.
