quote:Either way, you are teaching and therefore your initial argument is flawed.
The term teacher is commonly used. It means one who teaches, sure enough. However it is the approach that is different. Here in Mexico I am called maestro or professor. What I am called does not change how I go about assisting a player to learn.
I know that is confusing and sounds like double speak. When I review with a catcher the difference between the primary receiving position and the seconday, I make sure he understands the why part of the equation and I answer his questions if he has any.
I will concede that I do inform the player and when he asks questions then he is learning. I do nothing that smacks of indoctrination or, :because I said so." What I try to do at all times is to encourage the player to inquire. He is then free to accept or reject the advice as he sees fit.
As to my system and terms being flawed, we will leave that observation where it lays.
Enjoy your day.
