My DD broke her foot last varsity season pitching. She's not sure exactly when it happened but it just got worse and worse. Finally, I took her to the Dr. and her ligament had pulled a piece of bone off the top of her foot. She apparently drags her foot too hard. She ended up being put in a boot and missed pretty much her whole travel season.
She just pitched tonight for her school fall ball team and says she feels the pain again in the same place. I'm going to get her into the Dr ASAP of course but am wondering about the long term effects of this on her pitching career.
Not sure if we need to completely change her pitching motion or what to do...obviously she has to do something different or she will no longer be able to pitch. She goes to BH by the way and last time we saw him he suggested really kicking out the front knee. Not sure if she's going to be able to do that or if we just need to figure out a different way for her to drag her foot. He also said he had never heard of this happening so it must be a pretty rare thing.
