Just got an e-mail from the Dad of one of the international kids I was privledged to work with.She got a full ride and in her freshman year, the college hired a 70 year old pitching coach.She was a very talented leap and drag pitcher. He made her change over to step style, throwing with all arm, as the dad described it. Early on she hurt her elbow and was diagnosed with major tennis elbow.She was the best of the three pitchers on the team. So what does this old idiot do? He ices her elbow before every game to the point she could not feel the softball with her fingers many games. She ended up throwing 77% of all their games her freshman year.Then she was told by the doctors she needed surgery and would not be able to return to sports at all.She left the college and went to another. The #2 pitcher also left with arm problems and the #3 pitcher, had serious elbow problems the last he heard.The college fired the old man as he was not qualified to teach but was a big name in the eastern states as a pitcher when he was a young man.I cannot believe this kind of crap can still happen.ARRGH.
