“See ball, hit ball” - Ted Williams
Easy to coach when you are as gifted as Ted Williams
Wayne Gretzky had a similar situation when he was a coach. He tried to tell his team to pull off a specific manuver if the defenders were coming in quickly and his players were like "yeah we can't physically do that".
