Worked on it today with a full motion. Front leg a little better but still a lot of to do

Again, IMO, there's a heck of a lot of good going on with her mechanics! Impressive kid!
Yup, for me, a very worthy place to polish/tweak is that right leg/foot turn thing she does. At some point in the past she's been overly focused on getting open early.

Yep. I keep telling her she will open up automatically if she is in a good position

Thanks for the compliment. He motion was built from what I learned from DFP. She started last fall. Tried many a pitching coach but got tired of hearing about warming up with snaps. Had one coach ask how was she going to throw a screwball with her motion. I told him we would worry about that after she mastered a good fastball and change up that she could hit a teacup with.

Still need to find one as sometimes she doesn't want to listen to what dad says.

IMO...you're addressing the right things...100%. Just wanted to add a suggestion...have had a couple of girls that were very similar...muscle memory of jumping open...including my own DD, have had good success shortening the transition by doing a lot of walkthroughs. But with a focus on bringing everything forward from start to finish...both toes, both knees, both hips. You are right about opening up automatically. Sometimes it is hard to find the right words or to plant the right thoughts in their brain...this has worked well.
