Get her into her teamates pitching lessons and behind a pitching machine and break it in so she likes it. All that other stuff does is soften the leather so everything breaks by the end of the season so you need a new one. Get down and catch! It is the only way to break in a glove.
Great advise, DD has 2 Nokonas and worked as a catcher for one of the local pitching coaches, The new mitt is usually broke-in with about 3-4 days worth of work, She has a "gamer" and another waiting in the bullpen for those times when the "gamer" needs repair.
