DD is 14 and has no Pitching coach. we've been to see Bill Hillhouse when he has been in the area AND it was at a time when we could make it. She loves him and totally buys into his methodology. the problem is that I have had ZERO luck finding a pitching coach in our area that teaches anything other than "Hello Elbow".
Without regular coaching, she picks up lots of bad habits and either doesn't know she's doing them or thinks that it is not a bad habit.
we took some video on the iPad with Ubersense today so I'm posting them for comment. Hopefully someone can repost them in slow motion because it's really hard to see anything otherwise.
Right off the bat, things I take exception to:
Any "big picture" advice you would care to offer (or recommendations of Pitching coaches north of Boston) would be greatly appreciated!

Right off the bat, things I take exception to:
- making the number "4" with the legs after release instead or dragging the drag foot straight with the laces facing the catcher
- related to #1- drag foot is coming off the ground too early
- motion is not so linear but bouncing side to side
- she is bending at the waist to the side at release
