As I said in my previous post, her deficiencies can be improved with proper instruction. The reality of things is that there are very few individuals available in Lafayette (and the surrounding area) that have the knowledge and ability to teach hitting and catching in a manner that can elevate ones god given ability to a level that is needed to excel at the next level. Many parents can't afford or simply don't want to pay the cost associated with advanced level hitting or catching instruction since it usually involves traveling out of state. The really good instructors are normally booked up so you have to make your schedule fit theirs which is sometimes hard if you are playing other sports, etc.
