well running in general will help, but the most helpful thing is timing! getting off the bag at the earliest LEGAL time will definately make up for a slow runner! so will your confidence

i play softball and i gotta say im not that fast, im decent but not particularly fast. I definately would say that im a great base runner becuase im smart about it. i get off the bag quick and i get almost half way to the other bag. i promise that if your daughter does that she'll be able to steal and make it often

Okay I play for a JV team and this is how it rolls
1) Get an old car tire
2)Get a piece of string and tie it around the tire then make a lupe big enough to go around your daughters waist
3)Have her run on a flat surface with the tire rolling beside her if it falls she is running unbalanced
4)It teaches balance,speed, & strength
