Just wanted to share a nice letter from the dad of one of my students. (Thanks for taking the time to write it.)
I’ve followed girls’ fast pitch softball for many years. My daughter was a pitcher and played for 5 years. Even after my daughter graduated from travel ball, I have remained a huge fan and will attend local tournaments whenever I’m able. I noticed and made a rather interesting observation. I always seem to run into Bill Wozney, one of the premier pitching coaches. Bill is always there observing and supporting his students and talking with their parents. His involvement and enthusiasm tells me that he cares. In speaking to the other parents of pitchers, they basically agree that they have never seen their daughter’s coach attending games.
I see the results of his teaching and coaching. His pitchers realize that he is more than a “see you at your next lesson, but not at your games" coach. The girls seem to appreciate his support and perform with confidence. My daughter was always excited to see Bill at her games. Even today, as a twenty year old college student, she asks me that if I run into Bill at the tournaments, be sure to say hi for her.
If you have a daughter that pitches, ask yourself when was the last time you saw her coach at one of her games. Bet I know the answer.
