Just a quick update...we've been working on throwing as much as possible and have used Austin's book as reference etc... He's even helped review video.
Today we had her throw timed for the first time since February and there has been about a 5mph increase. DD and I are absolutely thrilled!

Congrats to DD iMl, that's a serious gain. And stress/pain-wise, relative to before, how does her arm feel with her improved throwing mechanics?

2 years ago DD had to take a break from throwing because of shoulder and elbow pain and it nagged her the entire year. Last winter she took November and December off from throwing and when she started up with team practice, her coach told me she throws really hard but he said it looked like a screw ball flying towards you. In February I timed her to see where she was at and When Austin's book came out we started working on her technique. We had a little setback because her coach didn't like the drills and did the wrist flicks etc... but we worked on it on our own at least 5 days a week, and I went to the coach and talked to him about it. She has had zero arm pain and her coach now comments on her "missiles". When we do long toss I constantly ask her about any pain, and so far she said it feels great. I could tell she was throwing harder and as mentioned earlier bought a palm guard and just recently had my glove repaired and had new padding put in....but it was nice to see the difference on the radar! Still a lot of work to do but we are heading in the right direction.

Maybe Austin could use this in his advertisements... True story
A young man that plays baseball on the fields next to us was watching our girls Anyway, he said...
"when your daughter throws to first it sounds like someone fired a gun when it hits the glove, when the other girl throws, it sounds like a silent fart!"
