Okay, so DD has been working hard on her swing. We have an experienced coach on her team who is supposedly well versed in hitting/pitching, and we see a hitting/personal coach on the side. Some of you may or may not remember me posting a video a while back (May/June)...and I think you replied that he is old school. Anyway, so last night was her first hitting/pitching session with him in almost 4 months (he took a hiatus from softball). Her first two swings, she loads...he tells her to not load and that it's a waste of time. She is stumped because after that she felt like she lost power and timing was messed up. She couldn't believe how much of a difference it made (in the wrong direction).
So...load or no load? Unfortunately, he won't tolerate knowing she is getting lessons elsewhere but WTH do you do when you leave for 4 months? :| We are team shopping now (she wants to move back to 16U) so we are keeping options open.
BTW will post a video next week after both lessons (her hitting coach vs. team coach)...so you can see for your self.
