I watched the video. It was very informative. I will definitely keep that one handy. I realize that it was my incorrect understanding of the order in which the mechanics happen. So I was teaching my daughter an all back, all forward mechanic. I'm not a hitting coach, cant afford lessons, but trying to do my research and learning to pass along to her. I even perform the movements my self to get a better understanding of it.
I have to say you all have been a great help. And this was just my second time posting here.
When I started on DFP (DD was 8yo), I knew pretty much nothing. I had always been athletic, but I didn't grow up playing baseball. Finding this site was huge for me, and I jumped in hard and fast to learn everything I could to help my DD become the kind of ball player she wanted to be. The power of shared knowledge is a tremendous thing. There have been a lot of influences long the way to help get my DD to the point she is now (14U travel ball, and on a path to playing in college), and what I have learned from the DFP community has been a significant part of it.
DEFINITELY try everything yourself. Work with new stuff until you understand how it fits in the context of the bigger picture you're trying to teach your DD. Also...a warning...don't download everything you learn to your DD immediately. Sort thought it yourself for a while first. I made the mistake of overwhelming my DD with all of the new info I was gaining. It was overwhelming and frustrating for her.
It's a journey, and the road ahead is long. DFP is here to help.
