A friend and I took over a 16u B team whose coach was asked to leave this year.
One of the girls joined this team last year, she had only played rec ball before this. This player is short but fairly athletic.
I've been working with her, as I have all the other girls, on loading and separation. This was our 12th preseason practice. She started on the Tee with me and was not into it at all. She was struggling again with separation saying, "I just dont see how I can hit with any power doing this." After this she went to live hitting and I told her to just swing normally and concentrate on seeing the ball. Half way thru she broke down in tears and walked away. I talked with her after and said if she doesn't want to change her swing I'll work with her to make her present swing as good as possible. I didn't know what else to say! Suggestions.
She has an all back all forward swing and does not take a step. Her stance is just over shoulder width apart. I don't want to post video unless I have to as she is not my DD.
