I'm going to be coaching a 5, 7 and two 9 yr olds. I tried to keep it simple, and I think I did. But keeping it simple didn't address everything.
Of course they have issues with using the body, but here is my current thinking. I think I need to address the upperbody first and continue to use the cue of allowing the hips/lowerbody to work. Although I want the hips/lowerbody to work, I'm thinking the focus needs to be on the upperbody.
What are your thoughts on working with young kids?
All the stuff talked about here means absolutely nothing to young kids. How Pujols swings means absolutely nothing when compared to working with 9 and under kids. They will never achieve Pujols swing, more then likely, as there is only 700 in the entire world to play with Pujols or have a ML swing. I do have elite swings on my phone and they liked looking at them, but the reality is very few have a ML swing and little kids for sure don't have a ML swing.
