"I have learned far more about baseball (hitting mechanics, pitching mechanics, fielding mechanics, etc.) since I started coaching - and studying a great deal - than I learned while playing. Often the things that came easy to us when playing ball are the things we naturally tend to neglect when teaching others. It takes conscious thought and a thought out plan to avoid this."
Texan...great way to put it. True in all sports. Developing an "eye" for what is really happens takes years. It taked time to learn the young player and what it takes to make changes that help. It is an art that takes practice but most rewarding ..Enjoy the challenge.
