I know the feeling. I'm not a whole lot older than Maddie (20 versus 17). So I know how she feels. You can't tell us anything and we have to figure it out on our own. Also, at that age, we may listen to what our parents say but we don't put much thought to it. We'll sooner listen to our coaches.Maddie hasn't tried the knee-down stance. Her first opinion is that it's limiting in mobility. We shall see what happens next year in college if her coaches tell her this is what she needs to do. Maddie's early mechanics were very much in line with NECC instruction, but she has evolved in her own direction over the years as she has figured out what works for her. Some things I think she could do better, but my opinion doesn't carry much weight with her these days - LOL. She is 100% responsible for her results on the field, and people seem pretty pleased.
