What is the purpose?

Uh. Some experts on this board have espoused pitching from your toes as a drill as part of learning....

Uh, yes they have and just like Damon S said, it was in response to a particular need for a specific pitcher. My DD is one who benefitted from his approach to help her get the feeling of "staying tall" through the pitch and not sitting/collapsing during the stride.

The mark of a great PC is the customize their coaching strategy to each athlete's needs, not make it a one size fits all approach.

So it's best in high school to be learning this?

I assume this is HS. If your DGD is taking pitching lessons I would nicely tell the HS coach not to change her pitching motion or delivery and let her just do the drills her pitching instructor provided.

She has been advised to not do this by me, it messes her up, from my playing for years and with advice from others on the board here ,we are the pc.
tks to all

no. it is best to solve a problem, if your DGD does not have the problem it is trying to fix then don't ever do it.
