Should I get a pitching coach?
So I’ve been playing softball for a while now and I’ve pitched about three innings in my entire life. Then today we had a meet up with my team because the season was over, and he told me that I did good and I should keep doing it.
After the meeting my mom came to me and asked if I could seriously consider getting a pitching coach so I could become better. And I’m sure you know that those are expensive. I don’t want my parents to waste their money on something that I’m not sure I want to do. It seems fun and all but I just don’t know.
Not to mention, I don’t even think I’m that good. I don’t want my parents spending money on my sister and I together. By the way I’m in middle school. Thanks.

First off, I commend you for the fact that you are thinking about the cost to your parents. That's very thoughtful and mature of you.
But, let's get to the issue. Being that you have your own doubts about wanting to do it suggests that it's probably not the way to go, at least for now. You seem to be much more interested in the fun of the game than anything else and that's fine. After all, that's what sports are supposed to be about, especially at your age.
I'd say if you want to keep the option open to try the pitching thing, maybe you can just watch some instructional videos on Youtube or check out a book at the local library that teaches softball fundamentals.
That's how my father and a friend learned about the sport of soccer when they first started coaching a local youth team.
You might even consider talking with grown women who play the game and pitch. They might be willing to work with you or give you some tips on what you can do.
Good luck and have fun.
