DD has been struggling at the plate so we took the GoPro to the field and recorded a number of her swings. We sat down together and objectively assessed her mechanics, at least to the extent a rookie parent and a 10YO are able. We both noticed a number of things for her to work on, some of which mirrored the feedback she has received recently from her hitting instructor. I was extremely happy with her interest in this activity, and the fact that she suggested that we go back to the field today and run through the process again.
Seeing her swing on the screen and being able to watch and point to the things she can improve upon really seemed to resonate with her. My question is: should I be concerned that her hitting instructor does not use video analysis to any extent? The instructor she sees is very respected and works with tons of the girls in the area, I just feel like he is missing out on this extremely effective tool.
Thanks...JF
