Correcting arm circle problems

Arm Circle / Stride Form video

Hello,
My 15YO DD has is struggling right now with keeping a good long arm circle. Last season she was throwing harder and more consistant. She has hit the age where she is going through a significant growth spurt and has grown 2 to 3 inches and 25 pounds since last year. She is much stronger now but has lost a lot of speed due to some funky things she is doing with her arm circle from what I can tell. Her arm is out of plane and she can't get any real whip anymore. How can we get her back on track?

Please check out her stride also.

Thanks,

I have added a better quality video to show current arm circle/stride and a slow motion video also.

Your DD is doing a good job. There are still some timing issues but the first pitch was very close. She had a loose arm and a relaxed follow through. The last pitch she was trying to muscle the pitch and a little forward in the open position. Tell her to smile and have a little fun. Major improvement overall. Keep working hard.
