Didn't Tiger Woods just pull out of a tournament over this?
Some say he has the Yips. One golfer, who had the pohysical condition of the Yips, claims that Tiger Wood's problems are not realy Yips, but all in his head.

So much depends on the individual. Some take more time and some less. It seems you are going about it the right way in this case. Baby steps and at her speed and comfort level. It will come in time. A sport psychologist may help as well, and videos of her being successful before her injury maybe? Good luck
My student made the JV. She is a freshman. They are very happy.
I have a lesson with her, Sunday, so we will see if she can throw.

I often wondered, if this happened to my DD, if having her make technically correct throws at half speed would help. The catch being I would blind fold her. Then after each throw have her work up to full speed. The throw may not be on target, but if it's 2-3 feet off versus 10-15 feet, I would call that a success.
There have been times when I tell her to "stop aiming", and make the throw and let her body do what it knows to do.
I may just do this one day for grins and giggles.
