I think there is a tendency for parents to try to coach every aspect of things rather than let the kid learn by doing. I know kids who never set foot on a baseball field without a private coach (fielding, running, conditioning... you name it). If you don't develop the skill of observing what works, trial and error, and just plain figuring things out you aren't going to go very far in life.

I agree with your last statement, but players don't coach themselves as you well know. There are some great videos of Ron Washington working with Ozzie Albies of the Braves. He is passing on wisdom every day. It's a mix. Fresh perspectives from those that have done it before you would be valuable.
