You see I don't overuse my pitchers EVER and like I said before if they look tired I pull them before they swallow a line drive.... And above all else if something hurts on any of my players I sit them period!! Look dude I'm sorry you feel some dipshit pitched your kid into opiate addiction but it wasn't me and it wasn't Chin so don't take your frustrations out on us man. Now, I'm speaking through experience when I say, its usually the parents that overpitch their DD without a break during the week not the coaches..... Buuuuut that is another conversation for another time, as far as this one is concerned.....I still stand behind a pretty simple philosophy that things shouldn't hurt if you are pitching correctly and if it does hurt your probably doing something wrong or maybe your body needs REST or better yet maybe your daughter is just not meant to be a pitcher find another position for her before things go bad!!
And this is where you miss the point. You spout off this bullshit about proper mechanics.....every parent and coach thinks their pitchers have proper menchanics.....so you give them license to abuse the kids. That's dangerous. Your "simple philosophy" isn't based on science or even one medical opinion. Dr. Andrews, who has seen many overuse injuries, would certainly disagree with you.
You're right.....it wasn't you and Chin that led to my kid getting overpitched, but it was people foisting this same BS rhetoric about proper mechanics and that its a different motion from baseball pitching which is less stressful to the body, All crap. My daughter may not have been cut out to be a pitcher.....maybe in the same way you may not be cut out to be an instructor.
