I for one don't make wild guesses because I understand exactly what I'm trying to accomplish and the feelings a hitter needs to have to be successful. I would take great pause with any instructor that comes to the table with wild guesses, which is exactly what the coaching profession is dominated with....sad, but true. Use caution before you throw us all into the wild guess category, until you've walked in my shoes and I'll do the same with you. I'm so impressed with the knowledge on this site, but it's one thing to have an understanding, it's far different to teach it. This is where Jack and I sometimes differ.

Coach C, You don't know anything about my character.When it comes to teaching, the proof is in the pudding. I always ask a hitting coach this question.....who have you taught and where are they at.
