I'm looking forward to passing down all these sports techniques. When I'm out walking, I often see one of the neighbor kids practicing baseball with his mom and it's very hard for me to not chime in about his swing.
Are you that friendly neighbour "hey sport, let me give you a tip" or the know it all "actually, your lower half isn't in balance so when you rotate your hips, that causes your elbow to drop by 6 degrees and is why you keep popping the ball up"
reply
No, I'm the one quietly shaking his head as he walks past in silence.

"that kid ain't going nowhere with that swing"

If I said anything, it would be of the "Can I give you a tip?" variety, but I don't want to step on his parent's shoes.
The frustrating part is that it's something I remember having to work on a lot one season. He's winding up on his swing as the ball approaches, instead of being fully wound up in his stance. Also, his lead elbow is too bent. Definitely not going anywhere with that swing.
