I wanted to say hello to everyone and Thanks for the abundance of information. I plan to get some videos up to get some feed back in the future. TO quickly sum up my daughter, She just turned 11 in Jan., She has been pitching for almost 2 years. Her form started to "break down" for lack of better terms. She started to lean, basically she had no front side resistance as I have read here! The leaning was causing her butt to stick out away from her body, so there goes any B/I. I found some drills to help with this and we started working on them Friday. I know Rome wasn't built in one day so I'm not rushing anything, but I was very excited at how much she seemed to be learning/understanding. I'm at a point now where I am not sure what to do. Her pitching coach is very well known, has a great track record, put many girls into college, but she doesn't seem to be addressing these issues, which is why I decided to learn/research it myself. I really like her, and she has become a friend to our family, but I want my daughter to pitch "RIGHT". So I guess I have 2 questions.
#1. Does anyone have anymore drills for front side resistance? Actually any drills you guys recommend would be great!
#2. What should I do about the pitching coach? Should I talk with her about these issues? Should I look for a new coach?
Thanks in advance, so glad I found this forum! Looking forward to talking with you guys and following up through out the process. (P.S.- What is a DD? Thanks!)
