Re: It's clear to me

It's clear to me that most of you are still searching and that's O.K. My guess is that most of you teach hitting, but never demonstrate the technique yourself. It would be advisable for all of you to choose your method of instruction and apply them in game situations, under the pressure you must put your pupils under. Most of you couldn't hit your way out of a paper bag, yet you advocate certain principles that seem to make sense to you. I am not at liberty to state my backround and name (that's why I'm Coach C), due to the nature of this site, however I will tell you under different circumstances I would love to watch each of you face superior pitching at the highest level, so I could get a good laugh. I've got one boy in the Majors right now and another one coming, who's much better. I teach travel baseball now for kids because I love watching kids get better. I chime in from time to time because I love the game and love to hear the rederick. In my opinion we have very few similarities, but I still love to talk about it. None of my sons would have made it with the Epstein jibberish, Jack and I differ in our philosophy...in that I think the arms start the swing and the legs support the arms. I think it works because my Sons thank me almost daily. They are living the life I wanted for them... the one I wish I would have had with the proper instruction as a kid, instead I played golf for a living. I learned through my failures as a baseball hitter and passed on my lessons to the boys, as they grew older. Most of you have never fixed your own mistakes, and that makes you not qualified to teach hitting in my opinion.

More video clips of MLB hitters demonstrating what you propose along with a little less attitude and ego would be great. : ) Keep posting. If you convince me I'm wrong you will have done me a huge favor...but you will have to explain it more convincingly and bring some clips of great MLB hitters to back it up. Maybe you're right, but I haven't seen it so far. Keep it coming.
