Do you recommend continuing with the soft tosses or go back to tee drills? I've always believed that if they are not doing it correctly in soft tossed you should go back to tee work. I'm not really sure why I have that mind set though. No one has ever said that to me, I guess I came up with that on my own. lol
As you know, you're just working against muscle memory and natural reactions. If she can do it on a tee, with focus and someone pushing her, maybe quick videos on a phone to reinforce it...she can do it with soft toss with the same conditions...she can do it with front toss with the same conditions. It just takes time and focus. She focuses on doing something different/new on the tee. If she goes to soft toss/front toss/ live pitching and just clears her head and reacts naturally (the way she always has)...if the "new" thing is not part of her natural swing yet...it disappears. focus is the key. Go into front toss and make the same effort to institute something new. Understand this will take a while and that you don't let her get lots of bad reps without correction.
