How would you justify to the player/parent that you are going to take something they are currently very successful at and make them not as successful (maybe even just in the short term) in the name of "proper mechanics?"
I get it, proper mechanics COULD (probably would) help the player out in the long run but what if it doesn't?
As the coach of a team I do not think it is my responsibility to mechanically change a players anything without being asked to do so. I took the kid on my team with that mechanical flaw because presumably I saw the success. I am not going to change that.
Now if they are not successful because of a mechanical flaw we will address that with a conversation and a plan to improve (which may mean a change to mechanics).
