Hi Rich.
You make great points, ie., example with your son.
But, you said something that really hit home with me regarding
analysis and observation. You said;"sometimes I think I'm trying to hard."
That is an EXTREMELY logical point.
As dads, we can all say the same thing, we're trying to hard.
Myself, regarding the young ones, I don't find it necessary for me, to uncover the movement of certain body parts, that I think in many instances, take care of themselves anyway.
Please don't take this the wrong way, my intent is not sarcasim but,
why do we not delve into the intricate movement of the knees, the buttocks, the feet.`I know it sounds a little silly but, the reality is, is that a multitude of body parts come into play during the swing.And, for me, to uncover the truth to such a complexity of movements,is not going to assist in the teachings to my kids.
Again, I do not and, cannot, approve or, disapprove the fact, that some things that Jack talks about, exist.
But, for me, I'll re-state what you said before;"sometime I think we try to hard."
I mean the attention spans of these kids, is another topic all together :)
Good post.
Take care.
