Wish me luck, Coach. I bought the HLP program and spent all fall teaching my 8-year-olds (Travel team) the coil, stretching their back behind the corner (pull back), and the tilt. Now comes teaching them how to snap it. Our coaching staff is fully bought into the HLP and although they are very young, we want them to work on the best possible swing, the Teachman swing, throughout their youth.
@@luckyc3926 Thanks for the reminder, we do the command drill but I forgot about the one-handed drill. We've been working on and emphasizing being stacked. So doing that one-handed drill on one leg and turning around that rear axis and flicking the barrel with a snap will help with both being stacked and snapping with their top hand.
This can be taught to anyone not just advanced hitters! Awesome videos keep them coming. Teaching my 6yr old son this technique. Now he is well above the 8U players he is going against! Great technique!
A lot of things in baseball are not what they seem. This is a great example. I can see someone arguing that swinging back creates a longer path to get to the ball, and one-legged reduces power. That is until you actually try this technique. I'm definitely quicker, and the bat feels like it's going to fly off my bottom hand in the follow-through. If you don’t experience this, you're not doing it right.
Y aren’t you showing ken Griffey jr? He’s the best hitter mlb has ever seen his size no juice the smoothest swing. Without injury he would be number one for sure
False, the mechanics come first. Then the strength/size come. Makes no sense to teach a kid a sub par swing, then when they’re bigger and stronger now we gotta rewire everything they’ve ever learned.

Don't tell him what to wish, Tim
Work on teacher mans one handed drill and the command drill for a extremely long time before moving on to other things.

Great lesson for every hitter to improve their skill. Thanks a lot.

I'm about to build a flashlight & pipe and try the swing.
Snap and tilt after coiling the back leg.
Excellent
You had me at pelvis is a bone
Amazing, helpful illustration!!! Thanks, Coach!
This is better than the video in the course. Very nice!
This helps, thank you
Dang. If I knew you were in Omaha I would have worked to get a 10 min lesson. I enjoy your videos!
Teacherman, I have a fantasy draft coming up, what other players do you coach so I can grab them as my sleepers? For real though... lol

I love this example, it shows how the swing is supposed to follow through very effectively
Any HLP guys in the Tampa Fl area I could go to?
Turn the lights down so we can see the light.

Please kids don’t watch this stuff he can teach advanced hitter but kids need to be simple to the ball

@@johnnynewsom6474i agree…teach them early to hit line drives and fly balls instead of line drives and ground balls. Meh what do i know!?
Please stop posting these….im 12/15 and 4 homers last 3 games at 51. 😅❤ it’s the truth.
Stupid BS
