Ive been trying to work with my DD (11yr) on trying to fix her issue of opening up too wide during her pitching motions. So while i am catching her, Looking straight at her, When she pushes off to stride, Her arm is not whipping in a perfect circle. Im actually loosing sight of her arm as she...
Man you spitting some facts! Thank you so much, As well as the others on here, Y'all foreal make a lot of sense and we'll continue to grind away at staying loose and whippy! I appreciate y'all alot!
Haha, It's okay, I'm over here trying to decide if we need to stay trying to stay loose And whippy(which I believe she hasn't fully adapted to) or go back to the H/E where she was more successful 😫

I've attached a vid to look at.

Thanks guys for input, Some really good ideas up there. I also heard to maybe get those PB&J uncrustables for quick bites on the go when they have back to back games.....
