She speaks of "forearm fire".

Guess we know where she received her education.

She may have checked out IR in the classroom, pulling instead of pushing

Rita: “Your elbow straightens, as we fire the forearm, and the hand pops to the front”.

I love that she (slowly) continues to evolve. RLG has such a huge effect on the bucket parents and coaches with these videos and I see/hear about what she teaches often. Everybody goes to YouTube and RLG almost always comes up, as does FP with Coach S. Eventually, I hope the videos like/or from: BM, Balswick, JS, Pauly and other student/masters, will be what pops up when parents/coaches go to YouTube for pitching advice. If RLG and Coach S continue to evolve, maybe others will take notice and start to study and seek to grow themselves.

Show me where the arm straightens with these pitchers:

I think it's important to understand that while the arm never completely straightens, it should not be forced to maintain a bend. Understanding and feeling whip means staying loose from the elbow down.

Great points, I watched this video a few years ago when my oldest dd was taking lessons. Her pitching coach was teaching the same thing. Though it was good info at the time.
