DBC,

I did it by discussing with individuals on this forum (either on the website or via e-mail) issues that I was having a hard time understanding. I know an individual who participates in this forum who is a minor league player. He too owns everything imaginable and has been at Epstein’s one week course and recently spent several days working with John Elliot. He is still looking for more! There is no perfect answer as to how to convey this type of information. What works for one person may not work for another. This is the way it is for most things in life and probably the way it will always be. If it were easy, everybody would be able to do it. This site has a lot of value to many of us.

> DBC, I won't bother responding point by point to your tirade, but I will make a few short points. # 1, contrary to your suggestion, I am not selling anything, nor am I putting down this Epstein guy you referred to. I do not find it necessary to denigrate others in order to promote the positive, the positive in this case being Jack's rotational concepts. # 2, since I am not selling anything, I do not feel obliged to subject my theories or my kid to your "evaluation". My "theories" are Jack's theories, so what you need to evaluate are his theories. And frankly, I don't give a hoot that you don't believe that learning Jack's principles helped my son, some of his teammates and others, because what is important to ME is the help this site provided me and others. The only reason I am responding to your outburst is that I want others to know that there many individuals who value Jack's principles, I being one of them. # 3 I haven't seen anyone coming to your defense of this issue, so obviously you are the only one who does not have an appreciation for rotational principles. I suspect you might be one of those frustrated failures who has not grasped rotational principles as quickly as others. If you are having trouble grasping the concepts, you of all people should be asking questions so you can learn.There are other options too. You could buy Jack's DVD, or you could send Jack your video so he could give you his analysis. However, if you really don't want to learn and you don't like the content of the site, you could just as easily point your mouse in a different direction.


I like this site. A lot of the questions that have been asked are questions I had but I just didn't know how to frame the questions. The answers helped me even though someone else asked the question. I went fom being a .230 hitter in JC, being cut from the team, but then after coming to this site trying out at a D-1 college, making the team and hitting .462 with 32 home runs. I'm on my way to probably being a first round draft pick a tear and a half from now, all thanks to this site. So to DBC or anyone else who doesn't loke this site, I say take a hike!
