I have a player (12U) who is a great natural athlete. She's the fastest pitcher I have, but she uses a self-taught motion where she bends over and forward as she finishes (sort of a bowling motion). She struggles with consistency, which I hypothesize is related to the extra movement she has in her motion.
I've been trying to work with her to keep her weight back and incorporate frontside resistance, but it feels different and uncomfortable, so she reverts to her natural form.
Any ideas on drills to help her adapt to, and find success with, a more typical pitching style?
