Wow, it has been 8 months since posting this video!!! Looking back, not only am I proud of my daughters progress but my recording skills has vastly improved. :p
I wanted to take a look back because making any substantial changes took time…

4 months later….I believe this is a curve ball.

This was from October 2014….one of our first video posted to this forum for input. Looking back, she had no I/R, no whirly glove, no front side resistance, she walked out of her pitch, no bend in her arms, lacking an arm whip..and was leaping but what she did have was determination and the willingness to work. Any substantial changes take time. Even two years later, there are things that she still can work on to improve.

this is great to see...how far she has come!! and I have resigned to the fact that there is still things that our girls (everyone) can "improve" I don't think there ever won't be. she looks like she's made great progress!

I like keeping track of progress. Sometime it can be a good reminder for both parent and child as to where they started...especially when you get to a point where only subtle changes happen. But it is these subtle changes that can make a big difference. I like to show dd these videos on days when she is so down on herself. Currently, dd is pitching on a varsity that has 6 pitchers and jv has a pitcher that would be a varsity starter on any other school ball team. Only 2 of the other pitcher get more time and they both have been the team's go to pitcher for the last 2 seasons. #1 is signed to play division 1 next year. DD missed last year school ball due to moving.So she is does down her own ability a lot. Maybe that is why I brag so much..lol..I want to point out that other people's definition of success is not yours. You create your own by the path you travel. Not everyone is going to be that 1% elite pitcher...but work hard enough, you can be the best version of you. A little competition is fine if used to motivate but not to tear your own self down...and not to let other people's opinion dictate your own value on and off the field.

DD warming up for last night varsity game...The game ended in a 4-4 tie. They played one of the top ranked team in the state. We come home and dd goes into the garage to work on pitching.

I am proud of the amount of brush contact she gets. She went from none to getting it all the way to her wrist.
