Want me to work with you and your hitter? → https://builttohit.com/program Most parents think if their kid can't hit for power, they just need more reps or better swing mechanics. But what if their body literally can't perform the swing you're asking for? In this video, I break down the MOTOR Coaching System—the exact framework we use to identify hidden movement flaws before we ever touch a player's swing mechanics.
