High school weight programs are terrible overall. The videos I see, even coming out of large programs, is not good. Sad thing is, those lifts are what your daughter should be doing. But technique needs to be trained over multiple sessions before you even start adding weight. OP, if you want to start any type of weight training, find someone reputable in your area to train you child, or at least teach him the basics. Don’t jump into your garage and start training bad habits that could lead to injury
I agree most programs are terrible but any dad with lifting knowledge and YouTube can easily teach the lifts. It’s not hard, people way way over complicate it imo especially CrossFit coaches. But could be just my experience.
I do agree though if you don’t feel comfortable, bring her to a strength coach. Notice I didn’t say trainer OP lol
But sandbags will negate a lot of this if you start really light to start and add weight slowly.
Starting out you are going to lack intra musclular coordination anyways and going to have shite control. Power athlete talks about this all the time

I tried to get my kids to do plyometrics type workouts and worked on things like balance & agility. Parents got pissy and just wanted more batting practice.

during last 15 min, i encourage strength workouts as in reverse lunges, bear crawls, reverse bear crawls, pushups, knee over toe lunges, broad jumps etc
eventually strength is the limiting factor
driveline has some great practice templates laid out
but i will say in parents defense...if you are not hitting then sure as hell dont run them like so many coaches do. or try and punish the kids with ore running. cant stand that. waste of time.
also coaches need to stop focusing on 1 offs and tons of time on bunt coverage. 8-10 min max time in practice dedicated to that
