A disclaimer before the video. This is my DD. She is 11 and works her tail off. I am a Software Engineer, so if you want to get into a conversation about Semaphores and their role in software security and operating system kernels that will make no sense to most people then I can do that but if you want to start talking about the kinesiology of proper muscle mechanics you will most likely lose me and the information will be less useful. We have not found a professional coach yet that I am comfortable with so all of the development that she has done up to this point has been from the two of us figuring out what works for her together and many hours of swinging bats and bonding time.

I will say that the biggest thing that we have been working on lately is the load prior to her swing. She is getting much better since we watched a video from a Cal Ripken demonstration that showed us some drills and explained why she should always shift her weight to her right leg. There are some things that I see that concern me, but I am far from an expert so I am going to keep them to myself and ask you guys for feedback on what you would make your next few priorities. I prefer to work in steps so we don't go into brain lock from information overload and can really focus on one thing at a time, so if you have a few steps to take in the next couple of weeks that would be awesome. Any videos or drill tips would be greatly appreciated too since we are both visual learners.
