She works really hard, sees a batting coach once a week and plays 10u travel ball. What should we focus on or work on? Looking for advice from some of the very knowledgeable DFP members, thanks.

Honestly, I think her swing looks pretty good. I have seen a lot worse. I would be curious what the hitting coach is concentrating on, and would be reluctant to suggest anything that would go against that coach. But, if you are looking for something to work on.... :) Ask her to watch her gif and focus on the tip of the barrel. As she is loading, I see the barrel dropping behind her slightly, or flattening. Then ask her to watch this gif and watch the tip of the barrel. Look at the tip of the barrel in both gifs and watch how far that tip needs to move in order to make contact with the ball. But for 10u, I think she is far ahead of the curve!! Have fun!

Then for fun, ask her to do the drill that is in chrispots avatar. That looks like fun!!
