Bad coaching advice - what to do

stayinside1110+ posts

My son has been going to a baseball academy(run by guy whose managed double AA) in the winter months for a couple years now. This year is his first year playing JV and the coach wants him to change his hitting mechanics around that go opposite of what he's learned at the academy. He's torn because he doesn't like the new style but the coach pulled him into his office last night and said, "Ben you WILL hit our way. Our track record speaks for itself, forget what you've learned." Has anyone run into this? I trust the academy because everything he teaches I see in MLB and other camps I've gone to. HELP!!!
