Tom /SB- Thank you ... thank you .. thank you. Finally got an understanding of what others consider it to be. So when others are thinking of 'squishing the bug' they don't have a problem with the ball of the foot doing what I/Amy consider to be squishing rather than pointing, it's really more the problem with how the foot gets to that position specifically the heel.
How would you describe what her foot does in your terminology? Dragoncoach suggested he'd call it Toe Push. Is that a common way to refer to that? I've had a lot of problems with some players parents when they hear the term, so I'm happy to use whatever terminology is current for what her rear foot is doing.
I teach trigger with negative weight shift to rear, stride and load of the hands the way a boxer would, firm front leg planted on big toe (like Jen keeps straight to plate then rotate on swing to natural 45, not what Megan did with planting at 45 then rotating to 90 and rolling), back foot "fill in the term for me" seam in pants of back leg is straight up and down. (Disclaimer: Not suggesting for a second that my girls have had Jen's success.)
