Situation:
DD does a great job of making contact. She has a great swing, however I'm not going to post it. During her hitting sessions she hits the ball hard and does very well.
The trouble comes during games. She has struck out less than 20 times in the past two full seasons. She slows her swing down in order to make contact. I'm trying to change her focus to not worry about striking out and hitting the ball hard. She went from a .500 power hitter to .200 this past year. Even less this fall. WAY less.
Any thoughts or helpful advice to achieve this? I will take some blame for stressing not striking out. Okay, I will take a lot of blame for that.
