    Try not to be a "speed freak". She can only throw as hard as her mechanics will allow right now.... it'll come. As far as the ball sailing when she stays back it is simply release point....see Bill Hillhouse "the pitches" video. Currently it sounds as though your dd is doing fine and is...

    Like Ken B clarified....a bit more lean as she drives off the rubber. That lean or bending at the end of the pitch is fairly common for young pitchers. She has some issues but doesn't look like she is forming any real terrible habits. Sometimes she bends at release and other times she doesn't...

    I would suggest to get her hips and shoulders a bit more open as well.

    What pitches should my DD throw?

    PapaPump, by now your probably slightly regretting your post but I do have to agree with SoftSoCal....never ever post like this again. lol. Anyway, let it all slide off your back man. The important thing is that your dd is pitching and your involved and your BOTH enjoying it. At her age I...

    Thanks Frozen... its been a tough lesson for sure but as the dust has settled and we've had a chance to sort it out she seeems to be stepping back up to the plate. She is embarrassed #1 (all her words) for allowing herself to end up here. She is upset that she let me down and her coach. I...

    Good question on the eligibility...not sure. As this thing continues to unfold it may not matter. Hard for a hardcore dad like me to come to grips with but it might be over. And so we move on....I love her more than the game!!

    Amy, she continue to live at home. The fallout is that they may not be able to field a team as some players have decided not to return. I feel bad about that but.... I took a major step to try and figure this out by seeking some professional counsel and found that I may have had as much to...
