Questions Every Parent Should Ask Before Choosing a Pitching Coach

We all want what’s best for our kids. But when it comes to pitching coaches, it isn’t always clear what to look for — or how to know if a coach is the right fit.

I put this guide together to give you the key questions to ask when choosing a pitching coach. These questions will help you get beyond surface-level answers and understand how a coach teaches, motivates, and supports pitchers. I’ve also included my answers, not to convince you to choose me, but so you can see how one approach might look in practice.

My hope is that this resource gives you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind as you make the best choice for your daughter.

What You’ll Find Inside:

• Questions that help you learn if a coach is teaching mechanics based on science or just experience

• Why mindset is just as important as mechanics

• How to know if a coach has a plan for long-term growth or just takes it week by week

• The role of fun and passion in keeping pitchers motivated

• How coaches should track progress and development

• And more thoughtful ways to make sure your daughter is in good hands
