[quote=Anonymous]So you said she has private lessons but you left out one key detail. How much does she practice on her own/with you (yeah, more time suck) in between lessons? I have a 12 year old pitcher and she either drags a parent out to practice or goes on her own with a target 3 times a week outside of practice most weeks - sometimes much more, occasionally only 2. We do lessons every other week. She's improving, though not quickly. She's not a natural athlete and pitching well is a marathon, not a sprint. But the fact that she is dragging [b]us[/b] out to practice with her rather than the other way around makes lessons worth it. And if you look on about the month-by-month level instead of the weekend-by-weekend level you do see progress. I know kids who took pitching lessons but never practice on their own. They don't improve. And it's a waste of time.[/quote]
