Reply to "Pitching stride - it'll come...."

In one of his books, Tom House says something to the effect of the brain will, in most cases, only allow the body to stride as far, and as fast, as the body can handle.  A short stride can be related to mechanics, but more often than not it's related to strength and flexibility.  Just telling a kid to "lengthen your stride" is almost always bad advice.  But, as CoachLD and 57Special have alluded to, most of the strip mall pitching coaches tend to use what I call a Band-Aid Approach and never really address the real issue.
