The reason she's hitting that knee has to do with her avoiding letting the right hip rotate to roughly 45-degrees before the shoulders do. If she would let that right hip go forward some as she goes into release, she'll get good brush contact, she won't whack her the inside of her front knee, and her poster will be better (spine closer to perpendicular with ground on release.

I believe the "knee-kick" drill without a ball will help her a lot. Maybe Rick Pauly could step forward and describe that here.

I have been trying to work on some of the suggestions with my daughter but the issue I am having is, "how to explain to a teenage girl in a way that she understands." I fully understand what needs to be done and why but translating it into girl talk...well, not so much luck. All I get is a dazed and confused teenager.

.....and mom telling her probably doesn't make it any better. How far is Richmond, Virginia from where you are?

Working on 'whack assisted whip' will further improve both “front side resistance” and “keeping her arm close to her body”.

Why am I referring to it as ‘whack’ instead of ‘brush’? … because at this point there looks to be active avoidance of such contact.
