To me she looks like she is close but just has some things to optimize.

She is getting a little bit of coil started but does not hold or stretch it into a stride to get power from her legs. Instead it is just a high foot drop and subsequent swing around the back leg.

After the coil/stride/stretch there needs to be a “go” that triggers the swing.

Slow down the rapid pace front toss!

Hard to tell from this angle but in her stance she appears to be leaning back with her head. I would want her head closer to over her belly button. Stand a little taller too. If you first fix her posture/ stance other things might fall into place. On her load/negative move her head move back and down. She gets shorter. Its ok to have some movement of the head but I would quiet down the excessive head/ eyes movement during her load.

Thanks for your input ROlling. She was working with an instructor and one of the things he emphasized was staying crutches over and exploding into the ball. She had a very good year last year as a sophomore. I see what you are saying about head movement. That is something we definitely will be working in. Thanks agsin
