Too easy, it's the mental aspect. Most HC don't teach it in depth because they don't know how.
I see girls all the time hit off a tee or pitching machine like a hero. Great if you are 14-16 and still play T-ball, then they move onto some good live pitchers and look like a fool. It reminds me of watching a boxer just kill a punching bag, only because a punching bag doesn't hit back.
Edit:
Redhotcoach, dang it you beat me by 3 mins. I should have kept my post shorter. Hope we can share the prize.
I think this is the correct answer. I coach a 14u team. I have only one or two of them that have any sort of mental approach at all at the plate. I try to teach this aspect , but struggle at doing it effectively. This is an area in which I would like to improve.

This site has ruined me forever going to a hitting instructor unless your one of the posters.
