Re: PASSION

I see a quest for knowledge by some fathers that far surpass the avg. L.L.dad on these sites.Learning to teach by example of proper technique we see from M.L. hitters is the right direction but not the key to making your son a great hitter.Only by instilling in the hitter or bringing out in the hitter himself [PASSION FOR HITTING]will he reach his potential.The mind is 80% the mechanics 20%.You can thirst every night for a tidbit more of knowledge but until you bring this out in the athlete he will just ride with the pack.Passion is relentless power that will move your life in a desired direction faster than you have ever realized before.Give this to your son and watch him take off.

RQL -
well said. Though to quote Yogi- "Hitting is 90% mental, the other half is physical." The two of you differ on the math part
I don't know about the other posters on these sites, but for myself, the passion for understanding and teaching hitting is strong and as you said has moved me in the desired direction faster than I would have imagined.
I hope that this passion translates to the players I teach. The best way I know to create passion in others is to involve them in my passion and use that to help them nurture theirs.
I think the collective passion of this on-line community has elevated all of us.
Keep the fires burning.
