Kayden 11 yrs old

So Kayden totally confused her coach and her Dad by coiling in to a no stride. She said she was using her coil.

If that's what she felt, that's fine. She used "coil" (her feel) and had success. Extrapolate that into "more coil = more success".

In her pitching motion she uses the coil to go forward. the thought of using it to coil laterally was a bit confusing and she was trying to understand it and do it in her hitting. She just started striding to a no stride yesterday and had success. The 3base coach told her she was striding too early and that confused her. A lateral shift with momentum is different than tightening up the coil in her hip but her coach has no idea what she‘s working on.

When I asked how she hit it so far, she said the coil…. Her exact words.

I was happy to see her posture improve. Yes, there’s lot of work to be done but I’m posting the progress in hope of it helping other beginners. We post professional players against out 8-14 yr olds and of course we don’t look like them.

This might need to change....or at the very least he needs to know she is working on something and to leave
her alone

That's a conversation for her Dad. She only has a couple more weekends with this team.

Not bad. It’s a start. Needs to TTB earlier, a slight use of the arms instead of TTB. Telltale sign is using the hands at contact. I wouldn’t say it’s a bad case of arm action and simply practicing will help clean it up.

Working on getting a little bit better each lesson. I noticed her right foot could be in a better position. I’m also going to move the tee closer.

If she stays with it, she is to be a good one.
