From what I observe, the main obstacle to overcome here is the inability of parents to be objective when evaluating the talent of their own kids.

This is an incredibly accurate statement.

I also simply cannot comprehend the faith put in the people that parents are paying to coach or instruct their kid, without them having a proven track record or seeing actual results.

If I had a doctor that promised me he was curing my disease, yet every check up I had I was the exact same level of sick for 4+ years I would wonder what the hell kinda doctor I had working on me and why I keep kicking in the co-pay.

For some reason this logic does not apply to pitching/hitting instructors.
