And what I mean by that is my mind knows what my body should should be doing, however, my body seems to get lazy and wont cooperate and causes me to have poor mechanics. If anybody has any advice about what I can do get back on track, that would be very much appreciated. Thank You! http://www.hudl.com/technique/...w/BoXu7CQM?e=3013365 


       
Your back leg is probably collapsing too much.  But I must caution you pitching is not like hitting.  If you look at big league hitters outside of stance and stride once the swing starts coming forward they all look almost exactly the same.  Differences are very subtle.  But pitchers...  that is another story altogether.   There are so many ways to go about it.  Bit fenerally the guys who collapse the back leg a lot also push off strong and get down the hill fast to make up for that lack of 'fall'.  Would love to see you from front and side.
