My dd started catching 12u 4 weeks ago. She played 1 year of 10u as an outfielder last year. First game she did great blocking what she could reach and not dropping but one 3rd strike and she got her out with a good throw. the problem comes with a big colision at the plate that bent her glove hand around and jammed her thumb badly. It has healed up pretty good but she cant/wont squeeze her mitt and is weak arming a catch thinking she is protecting the thumb when it actually is probably putting more pressure on it by letting her glove flop on contact. I understand it is still tender but i do not want her to develop bad habits any ideas?
