Hello, I am looking for suggestions regarding finding throwing (and maybe fielding) help for my daughter. She is 13. She is on a good team and has good physical abilities but never learned all of the "correct" methods at an early age. So, while she usually gets the job done, she does not look as impressive as some others warming up. Her throwing speed is not as fast as the top players and she probably makes 10% more throwing errors (high/low/left/right) than the best kids. She wants to improve this part of her game, but this is not something we are having an easy time with. Throwing speed is not something anyone helps with at team practices (not making judgments as to whether this is right or wrong) and neither her pitching coach or hitting coach has given any concrete help.
Is there any well known "throwing coach" out there? How does one go about perfecting the final parts of your game at this age to bring you from a very good player to a great player? I think the raw athletic talent is there and the will is there, but someone needs to actually teach her what to do to improve. Coaching has certainly helped with hitting and pitching, so I am guessing it could help here too.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance
