As a practical means of helping her figure this out - basically have her drop or pump her hands down when she picks up front knee (like Josh Donaldson, like Miggy who is not as exaggerated as Donaldson). Here's a drill from Matt Pierce - https://vine.co/v/ejzdDbHMLm3 He goes - knee up, knee down, knee up knee down, knee up then swing, hands are doing the opposite. Both of my kids like his drill. The ball in the back arm is a new twist.

A drill I use and refer to by the names of the "Stork Drill", "Florida Drill", "Ethier Drill" and "Lead Leg Lift Drill".

Good drill to help learning the sequence of "forward" and "prepare to throw". Helps give a sense of the hands providing balance during the move out.
