MENTIONED RIVERA, ARE FROM SEATTLE, AND SPENT THIS
PAST WEEKEND WATCHING UW IN THEIR FALL
TOURNAMENT. RIVERA HAS BEEN A FAVORITE SINCE WE
MET HER. GREAT SWING! I'LL KEEP THEM WORKING THAT
BAG. THANKS AGAIN

doing.Or maybe she doesn't want to think or know.If you get a
chance(usually the players are very accessible)talk with her and
let us know what she thinks she is doing.

ago,before finding Jack's info.I had a lengthy discussion with
Lisa Fernandez and Jennifer Brundage( a couple of successful
hitters) about particularly what they thought the arms were doing
in the swing,and how this related to handpath.They had no
clue,didn't think about it much,but did speculate quite a bit.It was
clear they didn't know what they were doing(on a mechanical
basis) nor did anyone they were in contact with.This is not
surprising.But now the knowledge is out there.This should make
training and results better and improve slump busting,but not if
what the player or coach thinks is happening is significantly
different from what must mechanically happen in reality.
