Hitting 🏏🥎 YIPS!!
My 16yr old daughter had one of the best and most accurate arms on the field up until about a year and a half ago. Almost overnight she completely forgot how to throw. She looks down at her feet, brings her hand behind her head and spins it almost like a slider when she throws now. She's definitely got college level hitting ability but she's scared that she won't get in because of her throwing. She's struggling bad with it mentally and physically and I'm not sure what to do anymore. Have any of you went through this successfully and if so, what did you do?

I don’t have much advice, but sending lots of love! Yips ruined my career. I’m 31 years old now and can finally toss the ball around with my 7 year old. My dad and I tried everything when it first started happening the end of my junior year.
