A polarizer will reduce glare, but it will not help the already lost detail in the shadows, at least to my knowledge. It isn't a fix for a complicated exposure problems such as this one. A polarizer will cut down light coming into the camera by 1 to 2 stops, but all that means is that in order to get the proper exposure you have either increase shutter speed or open up the aperture to let in more light. So you still have the harsh contrast situation no matter what. Sky light filter I've never used, but they do not effect exposure, the light the cut down is miniscule as to not even be noticable. What makes this case so complicated is that its an action shot. Were she posing a sitting subject she could use the flash, the reflectors or as Jinx called it a bounce card (same thing) to add some light to the harsh shadows. Time to make bean soup!
