I understand that Michelle Smith was (maybe still is) an excellent pitcher. Yes, obviously more accomplished than my DD.

However, when she starts pulling out a protractor and saying you have to get a 52 degree hip angle... Actually, you had to hear the way she bumbled about the degrees... first it was 42... then it was 45... then it was 45 to 52... Yes, openning and closing the hips properly is essential, but it reminds me of Charlie Brown's adage "Those who can't do, teach." I think there's a corallary, "Those who can do, can't all teach."

And it wasn't the 11 year old rolling her eyes about this one. She no longer pitches and has gone over to the dark side... soccer.

Then the next day she said something that sounded equally clueless about Jenny Finch's rise.
