i'm glad we took some time off this year,and used that time to get stronger and work on mechanics. she will play enough games this year,so we worked on conditioning so she would have the strength to play so many games. but you must be right carly,they must break those seasons up a little bit? because when would they have time to work on other pitches and stuff? what are your thoughts on speed training? long toss etc.? we don't always try to throw as hard as she can,because i think if she is always straining herself,she will end up getting hurt? so what we do is,if she is having a bad day,when she is not throwing that hard,instead of pushing it to much? we move on to spins,or other pitches,or sometimes hitting? do you think you should always throw as hard as you can?

I do think you should always throw as hard as you can. If doing so causes strain, there is probably an issue in the mechanics that needs to be dealt with. Do you have any video of your daughter that we could look at?
i really don't have any recent video because we are indoors for now. i tried the other day,but the lighting wasn't great.
