Player not able to form a plattform

I have a player Who can't keep her plattform right/stright when she's going to make a contact with the ball or passing it. Just before she's going to pass the ball, i reminder her to keep her arms straight, but her arms always, always end up being bent ("jacked"), if you know What i mean. It's been a long time now, as we'we focused on this (the player and I), but her habit of bending her arms isn't going away, What am I going to do? I need help
