So do trigonometry and physics teachers.

If I were to redraw arrows, this high level hitter would create divergent red arrows going in separate directions: One arrow starts at the rear hip belt line going down to the rear knee in representing the horizontal torque applied to the hip socket, the other starting simultaneously at the same point headed up the SCIP axis toward the hand set in representing a competing vertical torque on the hip socket. The SCIP axis is both a torsion bar and a functional lever, whose top end is the recipient of the sum of forces during the launch.

Bold above ..... very important key to the swing IMO.

Someone got confused .... hence the plea to keep things simple. The truth is, what was described ... what I refer to as "Pivot the Swing" (as opposed to "Shift AND Swing" or "Shift THEN Swing") .... is incredibly simple and is huge in terms of getting a kid away from an OTT-type swing and towards a properly powered swing.

8-12yos are taking trig and physics?? Man, things have changed...

I think this in-depth information is great for those who are ready and able to read it and absorb it. As teachers (even if it's just our own DDs), we should do everything we can to learn the material we're teaching as deeply as we can. The challenge in teaching is how to translate the information in a way that the student can understand and apply.

That said, I'm going to have my 15yo read TBao's posts, and explain them to me in a way I can understand.

It is our obligation, as teachers to understand....

Good information, bad information, do not know.....?

I will the break down the answer within a mechanistic framework, but I must hear from you. No checkpoints, minimizing descriptions, and facilitating understanding through tangible explanations. I am like every single one of you out there, and have been on this site since 2011. I had a very good teacher, and with a lot to share.

By the way, I take this as a very gender-centric comment. My daughter is highly intelligent, and women run my life. We must look at ourselves for that humbled self analysis in claiming that we really do not understand.

A comment such as "remember we work with young ladies" is only sexist if one decides to interpret it that way. The reference could be attributed to age specifically and not gender.

The notion that the material needs to be kept simple BECAUSE the target audience consists of ladies is ... weelllll, it is insulting.

The swing is basically the same between men and women. A good fundamental understanding shouldn't be stifled simply because the student is a female.

If you train like you will achieve less ... then you will achieve less.

Your daughter was swinging wood at a young age. I doubt highly that she was raised to feel that she was of an inferior class.
