Does the expression "my way or the highway" ring a bell? How many parents do you think are going to complain because a coach is trying to protect their youngster from a strange new system, while giving him a better chance to develop his hitting abilities through familiar coaching.

However, like your other critics I do have the free speech right to warn others of the pitfalls of trying to implement your theory. As you have reminded me its a free country.

Hi JAC:

I read the material.

The examples that I cited were additional illustrations drawn from our world.

My philosophy is that I am willing to teach the PFO style to anyone who will listen.

If they object, though, I will listen to that person, and work with that person.

My point is not that I want to force my opinion on anyone; rather, my argument is against those who say that my way is the only erroneous method. Of course, subjective topics can create a bunch of problems.

In the end, I believe that it is up to the player to decide what method is right for them.

Regards,
BHL
