Thought I would open up a thread where others could vent about things they hear other parents and coaches telling kids that make you cringe and want to run over and explain why that is SO wrong. So list one at a time and explain what makes it wrong to you.
I'll start: faster swing, you will never hit it hard unless you swing faster.
I hate this because it is not true at any level to me. Coaches praise this speed swing and then tell the kids to keep their eye on the ball. If they would just try to swing the bat as hard as THEY could they would understand how hard it is to keep the head still. Then of course the kid looks good in cage and then the coaches wonder why the kid can't hit in a game. Must be lack of intensity. UGH!!!
