My older DD's accuracy has backslid a little. I noticed that prior to push off, she has some side to side weight shifting action going on similar to the girl in this video. Cueing her with feeling the weight shift more straight back than side to side appears to help it a lot, but we have also experimented with the getting a wider stance and then using a pivot foot slide move that is so common (see the next video) to get the pivot foot more in line so she can push straight forward. I remember seeing the little slide move discussed before with some advocating it but I didn't understand why at the time. Is this slide move there in order to allow the loaded weight on the stride foot to transition to the pivot in more of a straight line and not cause side to side imbalances?
Note that the videos are just the quickest samples I could find of what I am talking about.
