Self-Teaching Drills

[softballphreak]

What drills could be considered self-teaching drills? IOW, what drills could players perform that they would benefit from even if there were differing opinions as to whether they were beneficial?

Sometimes, drills/practices are met with the "just smile and do it your way" advice from well-meaning advisors. I'm hoping to find a few drills that will benefit players "in spite of" my bad coaching.

Wow! I've stumped the audience!

Maybe this will help break the ice.

I consider this drill to be self-teaching:
Place the tee midline of body. Set the tee at knee level, initially for a low middle pitch. Use an 18" wooden bat.

What I believe will make it self-teaching is the batter is forced to tilt, forced to clear the hip. Instruction will be to "throw" the barrel to the ball.

Comments? Suggestions? Other drills?

Self teaching as in instant feedback?

Self-teaching as in they will learn it by doing it because they can't do it wrong. IOW, just doing it will be beneficial.
