My daughter has been playing softball since she was 5. She has always been a great hitter. Her older sister wanted to get pitching lessons, and she pitched a fit saying that it wasn't fair. So, I decided to get her hitting lessons. DUMB DUMB DUMB!!! The lady had her all over the place, thinking about things she, in my belief, she is too young to understand. She only went 5 times, but boy did that do damage. She started doing funky things with her hands and lost confidence at the plate. She still connects but it is not the line drives we are use to. What do I do????? She has been dropping her hands. I know this hitting coach that works with an 03 team and they are all out of this world hitters. I don't know if I should bring her to get back on track or not. He emphasizes the front leg straight, back leg bent....I was looking at pictures of her hitting BEFORE SHE EVER SEEN THIS HITTING COACH AND SHE NATURALLY DID THAT. I feel like I have ruined her confidence. She does NOT swing like this anymore. Any help/guidance would be wonderful. Should she have a hitting coach if she naturally did these things before ?? Now, she can't b/c she is thinking too hard about it??? Also, if she is going to play serious ball...should she have a hitting coach from here on out? Does every tourney ball player have a hitting coach? Has your daughter seen a hitting coach when she already was great at the plate???

This video is her first time seeing hitting coach. If you notice, she starts doing funky stuff with her legs b/c lady is telling her?! She was hitting line drives. After this lesson, she went WAY DOWN HILL! AND WASNT EVEN CONNECTING!!! SHE WAS SEVEN AT THE TIME. NOW, SHE IS 8.
