We just started back up practice, this week, after a month off. I'm just linking to YouTube because you can slow it down there, not sure if you can if it's embedded. I'm focusing pretty heavily on mechanics right now, and while I've gained a lot of knowledge here on how it's supposed to be, it's all book learnin' for me. I have a hard time translating that into how she looks actually pitching. She's 9 (barely), has only been playing 10U for a couple of months though she's been practicing pitching close to a year now. I've mostly been leaving the mechanics stuff to her dad and PC but now I'm over that and working on it with her myself, since I have the most time with her. We are doing several drills mostly that I found here, but we did just start so I know there are still a lot of issues. I would love any suggestions to help her mechanics.
This first one is using the power pod thingie for the first time. She said it makes her foot feel too high, she's not nuts about it. A recurring issue we've got is leaning forward during the pitch.

This one is without the power pod.

This is her back in June. Do you think she's progressed? Sorry for the name change. When I first signed up I used Facebook to sign in, but then it wouldn't let me change my username and I didn't like my whole name used so I just started from scratch.
