Okie,
I see a lot of different 'styles' in this video... but the lack of fundamentals and adherence to one style is probably why you see so much inconsistency.
IMO, I'd eliminate everything she is doing before the circle and after the circle... and focus in on what needs to happen during the actual circle.
You're absolutely correct... there is soooo much information out there... and I can see how she is a sponge for visual cues... and a master at mimicry. IMO, you should take this strength of hers and turn it into instruction she will undoubtedly master. Rather than scour youtube... use the I/R threads and the images/videos in them as the tools. It's a single approach that your daughter is desperately seeking... provide it for her.
Once you get all the fundamentals down... you can go back and add in some of those style points.
Lastly, this is a one-stop shopping kind of place. The quality threads posted here all promote (the majority that is) the same singular style. Read up on this stuff and gather the visuals she can learn from... she'll do great. ~JS

- Work on the whip phase first.... just like BoardMember lays out in his perfect progressions. Get the free application called Kinovea... and show her those videos in his thread frame by frame. Have her do what he does. Perfect palm-to-sky, liberty and show it.
- After the back part of her circle is lights out... show her how pitchers get their body open early. Have her mimic the opening sequence properly... and teach her to get her hand on top of the ball early.
- I'll write up a new post in the Drive Mechanics thread this week that will help you with her drive/stride mechanics... as she has the sequence of the drive off the plate backwards.
- Then show her the Drive Mechanics pictures and videos... and have her work on getting aggressive pushing off the plate.
