Doug's video is full of great info. Some of which you may be for or against regarding the angles, powerline, etc. etc. With that said, my biggest takeaway was what he said late in the video about time off from softball. He mentioned that he has seen 2 girls that pitched or will pitch for Team USA who never played a travel ball game. That honestly blew my mind. But it really hit home as I have looked back on DD1's softball career as a pitcher. We have had minimal time especially the last few years to take time off, to work on her pitching and make the changes she needs to make, etc. DD1 is a junior in HS and we really needed this fall to focus on her mechanics more but we play every weekend.
Long story short, his message is so very true IMHO. The travel ball games are great and all, but take some time off and rest. Then take some more time off and make the adjustments, changes you need to make. It is almost impossible to do it if you keep playing every weekend as the muscle memory doesn't have time to adjust.
Just my 2 cents.
