Hitting
There is no one certain way to teach hitting. Too
often coaches try to teach kids to hit their way. Coach Strong gets
hitters to swing the correct way given his or her style. The emphases
is focused on improvement and making the correct adjustments. The
majority of Coach Strong's time is spent helping kids unlearn the things
they have learned for the past 10 or 12 years. Hitters that are not
taught the correct mechanics will hit "the wall" at some point in their
career: be it high school, college, minor leagues or the major leagues.
Success stories are great. They inspire us and give
young hitters something to work toward. Hitters such as Alex
Rodriquez, Ken Griffey Jr., Mark McGwire, Chipper Jones, Tony Gwynn, and the
list goes on. These are a list of players that have worked very hard
to become the top hitters in the game today. With all of these Major
League success stories, we have three times the amount of real life
failures. Year after years there are hitters that fail because they
are not taught the correct fundamentals. At a young age they are
praised for their success and in most cases their success is due to the kid
being physically stronger than kids that they are playing with. Once
that hitter starts to reach to level of competition that matches their
athletic ability the hitter hits "the wall"/ Now he or she is told
that they need to make some adjustments in order to become more consistent
and hit the ball with more authority. The answer that is most common
is " Why didn't someone tell me this before? I've been learning the
wrong things for the past few years.
