Reply to "College pitching coaches...what do they actually do?"

@PitchingFan I think a successful parent is one who provides the love, guidance and support for each child to become the best version of themselves. Are they happy, are they contributing member of society, do they walk humbly, are they compassionate? Anything else is gravy.

I think good coaches help players reach their full potential. But just like with parenting, there are outside factors. Does the coach's style resonate with the player? Is the player willing to put in the hard work? Injuries. Starting talent level of the pitcher vs. Ceiling (i.e. did the kid show up over pitched or already peaked). Coaching is a brutal business at almost every level for one reason or another.
