I guess it is my turn, my DD. Have at it so we can improve. 12 YO

It was high.

The biggest issue imo, as I previously stated, is her stride which doesn't have anything to do with pitch height.

She is reaching some with her front leg. The reach is putting her shoulders upside down at launch. As I think Trout might be a good comparison, look at how he is moving out in comparison to your DD.

Wanna explore this a bit deeper.. What is causing the ‘reach’ you see?

Since you already have an answer as to why you think it is happening why don't we just skip ahead to what you think...

Some kids just initiate their stride by pushing their leg out and before you give your answer yes some of that could be to try and maintain/regain balance..I don't think her negative move puts her in too bad of a position from a balance standpoint tbh

I am asking your opinion.

I gave it... I can get to a nice balanced position to move and then still initiate it by reaching with the leg vs moving my belly button forward first or simultaneously with my front leg.

There are many guys with a ‘reach’ that do well. Why is that?



Yelich bb goes after his front foot moves a bit forward. What is enabling this dynamic balance and how does he maintain it for so long?

Fine she can reach it is perfect..not in the mood to play your FFS games.

Hey OP: The only correct answer here is contained in post #11..disregard anything else.

I am not FFS. No games. I’m just trying to get to the root of the issue. I think your analysis was correct.

edit: if you do not wish to understand or explore the ‘reach’ issue or root of a ‘reach’ issue. I won’t comment on it any further.

Bold above is spot on. The ‘how’ is what needs to be brought forward.

Well bring it forward then and knock it off with the Socrates act...
