Long time reader, first time poster...
Was hoping to get some thoughts.
My DD is 11 and back in January we moved her to I/R from H/E. With the lack of I/R instructors in the area we went online.
Her team has a relationship with the local training facility and come the new year there will be sessions for the pitchers. When I asked about I/R I was advised that the instructors:
"go off the natural arm movement of the player.
If they feel what they are currently doing does not work then they will look to change. If what they are already doing is effective they will stick with it especially if the player is older."
This is the same facility that originally taught her H/E. I have some concerns around there not being an understanding of why I/R (movement, injury prevention, speed, etc), but wanted to see if this approach of expanding what the pitcher is doing is a flag to anyone else. I could very well just be over protective. Thanks
