I believe his statement was " Most great players don't make good coaches" which I think in general is true because most PEOPLE, regardless of whether they were great,good or lousy at the task they are trying to teach, are not good teachers/instructors without proper training/experience. As a newly graduated PhD I knew the material that I was trying to teach like the back of my hand but understanding how to teach it to people who think differently than I do took some time..and still evades me at times. Once in a while I will say to myself, "How can they not see/understand that..it is right in front of them". But the fact of the matter is they cannot, just like with my DD and feeling different things in the swing. How can she not feel that she is doing XYZ but she cannot and me saying to her she should is not helpful.Keyword: skills.
They both can be worked at and improved over time. Saying ‘good players make bad coaches’ is a wreckless blanket statement.
I have no doubt that, with time and the proper motivation, AROD could probably turn into a good hitting instructor.
