Here's my DD in a few vids. Just turned 10 last week.
low-quality 50% slo-mo at "dugout distance", but enough to get the idea, I think?
First is her back in early May.
Still had a tendency to forward lean at delivery at this point. Weak push-off. And illegal pitch motion/wind-up (hands come together at midriff, then apart to start wind-up, then back together again overhead...)

Next is her last evening. I see some improvement! Glaring issue to me is how her back leg lags behind release? But her push-off looks stronger, better stride, better posture at release, better stride leg resistance at release.

Your thoughts?
Notes:
1.) I figure I'll get a bunch of comments on that overhead wind-up, yeah that's something I know we probably need to tone-down, now. We incorporated it as a reminder/queue to her to "stay tall", as coming into this season she would be very bent at the waist and weight forward of her stride foot at release...
2.) She's a "leg slapper", before windmill and after. Need to probably ease her out of that, as well.
