ken thanks, i talked to her pc he said same thing. her problem is with batters. she pitched 12u games last night again walked the first 3, then its like something clicks and she gets busy. pc told me not to say a word, before during or after pitching that she will figure it out. so i didn't until i saw her actually drag up, i praised her. she told me later that when i told her good job for dragging it didn't feel any different to her than any other pitch.
light bulb moment for me, that wasn't cutting it for her to even think about dragging it up. we took video today of just her feet and pc would use key words until he got a quicker foot. it was "use your abdomen to finish" foot came up quick and crisp. showed her the video and she was ecstatic.
have decided to talk to tb coach and see about putting a limit on innings. he tends to throw her a little more than my liking anyway and he knows are intentions are to develop for down the road and not so much to be that great 12u pitcher.
