Long story short. We’ve been busier as a family than we’ve ever been before. Getting video of Jayleen has been difficult with all the running around. She’s been attempting to correct the issues but admittedly not working at it as much as I’d prefer at home.
Videos..... I have some from a couple previous tournaments, but her hitting had been more of the same. The two below show some actual progress and were from this last weekend. They played a 16u B tournament. Pool play teams were atrocious, and we thought the weekend might be a waste of time. Then bracket happened and they saw actual B-level teams. The pitching and everything else was much much better.
Still plenty of work to be done. But the light bulb really came on for her after a lesson with a new hitting instructor yesterday. Great reputation locally. They even covered some upper half stuff with her arms/hands/posture. It was good. Quite a bit of educating her why the standing up was happening and what the fix was going to be. A lot of what I've seen/read on here, but am not knowledgeable enough to regurgitate. I had a few "oh that's what DFP means...." moments.
