Softball DAD
My DD is 5'5" tall and 16 years old. Since she started pitching she has kept the ball to the side and then pitched (not a bring one arm back pitcher). Almost every time we pitch together she always says "I wish I was faster". She has good to great movement most of the time. When we are doing drills she has decent speed, but when we go to live pitching from the mound the speed is very inconsistent. More down than up. We have and still are focusing on the drive leg. Making sure not to bend the back leg to much and drive off the ball of the foot. And getting the resistant leg to up and down quickly and also having front resistant. When this and other stuff is all working together she has decent speed.
We have noticed a lot of girls her size bring the one arm back when they pitch and seem to have great speed and movement. This is the dilemma(and not sleeping) I am in Should we look into changing styles? Or, maybe she needs to perfect what she has and not jump ship.
I was wondering has anyone faced this problem? If so, what did you do.
