10U Critique

Last year of 10U. She is lagging on her drag foot. Anything else we should be working on?

Thanks

Too blurry in slow motion for me to really tell on the arm, but she is leaning forward when coming down on the plant foot, not bad (my daughter finished the fall season with a much worse lean that we are working on when her offseason break is over)

I think otherwise it looks pretty good, but I bet you get more suggestions from those with keener eyes soon.

What jumps out at me is she's not pushing off the rubber, she's stepping off, in the first pitch it looks like she tried to push off but she went up instead of out, I think.

I would delve into the Drive Mechanics sticky, read all you can and get her working on her drive off the rubber.
And keep an eye on her posture at release. Her posture at release is like a drop ball posture which isn't bad, but her back foot doesn't get in that optimal stacked position, I think it's from the lack of push in the beginning. I'm just guessing here!
