This past Sunday I took my son to a mini-clinic on hitting being held at local facility. Ten minutes in to the 90 minute clinic the instructor was talking about swinging down on the ball to create backspin. My head nearly exploded and I really considered trying to find a nice way to get my son out of there as quickly as possible. We stayed, he got a few swings in, and the guy did have an interesting point on his batting stance that I think was valuable. In the end, I think we had a similar experience. Sometimes hearing things we disagree with forces us to examine our own position and reevaluate why we think it is the way to go.
Sounds like Jen would be an outstanding conditioning coach but maybe leaves some things to be desired as a catching instructor. I'm now looking even more forward to DD's catching camp with NECC here in Columbus in a couple months.
I don't agree with that style either but it is exactly what Tripp Mackay teaches at Oklahoma. Produces great results so there my be something to it.
