Anyone have any diving drills you can share? We went out to the fields to practice a bit with our kid and she dove for a ball and landed awkwardly and (not sure if hurt is the right word) hurt her elbow because she tried to break her fall. She's not injured but I think she gave herself more of a stinger since it went away about 5 minutes later.
Anyways, I'd like to teach her how to properly dive for the ball without using her throwing hand to break her fall. I've told her numerous times that if she is going to go for it in that manner, she needs to look more like superman with both arms extended. But I think her "remembering" to do that when she dives is more muscle memory than her remembering herself.
Anyone have any at home drills we can do with her?
