How important do you think proper use of the glove side arm is in increasing speed and accuracy? I have the feeling it's an often overlooked aspect of the pitching motion - at least with the younger (12U) girls. I see alot of girls barely lifting and dropping the glove, and/or extending it well off the target.
I teach my daughter to extend the glove shoulder high along with the throwing hand straight to the target at the beginning of the stride and to bring it down with force as the throwing arm continues its downward rotation through the release. I don't want her slapping her thigh, unless it's done lightly.
Thanks!
