DD is doing some weird stuff. At some point this Fall we stared really concentrating on IR and spin. Then her mechanics started to get a little sloppy. I see things. I try to get her to tweak stuff and she just gets frustrated with me. She will
Say she doesn't understand what I'm asking her to do. Or she will make the adjustment but then be frustrated that her pitches "don't feel right". She stuck right now with not gaining much speed. She's on the small side. Not quite 5'. Just turned 11. Started in Fall throwing 41-42 when adjusting to the bigger ball and 40'. Now she's at like 44-45. She's the smallest / slowest pitcher on her team and that frustrates her. Her forte is deceptive pitches and placement since she's not blowing past batters. So basically she needs to change some stuff. But her lack of being receptive to my advice at her practices coupled with her frustration level when dealing with change have us at an impasse. Did I mention she's 11 and hitting that oh so fun age of extreme growth spurt and attitude? https://vimeo.com/189319142.
Would love any advice you've got
