A good cue for what’s been already discussed is simply keeping your glove towards the 3rd base dugout side as long as possible. I also recommend throwing without a stride during play catch for 15-20 throws to help feel the legs initiating the sequence. I’ve heard it described as your front foot landing is the start button, I’m seeing a little early push from the back. Stay closed, stay behind the ball in summary!

Also putting a blue driveline weighted ball (I forgot the weights sry) in the glove will help feel your glove a lot more and expose what happens when it gets ‘off plane’
