I think we coaches sometimes do more harm than good and our girls succeed in spite of our best intentions,
I couldn't believe one coach last spring, first game (U16) , at the start of every inning he's telling the girls right before they get up to bat that they have to swing down on the ball in order to make good contact. If a girl got a good hit he'd yell out to them "See? See what I mean? It works, doesn't it??!!"
I find the ones who know a lot are the ones who are less likely to attempt to overhaul a swing- Unless, as Mark says, the hitter wants to take it to another level and is going about it wrong.
