"Do" what your coach says or "drop it"?

"Do it" - Every pitcher I work with tells me, as soon as I adjust their footwork and monitor their front foot lift, they feel they're using much less effort to produce better results.   To support this, their mind's "built-in response mechanism immeidately shows ...

1. Them having greater leg involvement.
2. Their wort results finish noticeably closer to their target.
3. Them no longer aiming and, for the first time, pitching.
4. Instead of the 10,000 focused repetitions required to master a "feel", they experience a personal "aha" moment then...
"Do it"!

"Drop it" - Any time a coach asks you to make some change within your motion and...

1. Your new movements don't make your motion look and feel more efficient.
2. Your worst misses finish outside your catcher's body at the same rate as before the adjustment.
3. Your back hips show your throwing arm pulling your back hip forward.
4. You find yourself working on your muscle memory (still need 10,000 focused to master a "feel"), then 
"Drop it!"
