"Get your foot down" and the sacrifice bunt are ruining amateur baseball

A coach putting the sacrifice bunt sign on is telling the hitter, "hey I think you can't hit so I am going to make you do what pitchers do in the national league" Then they give you some crap about doing it for the betterment of the team and teaching the concepts of selflessness....blah blah blah etc. Bunt for hits are a good play but the sacrifice bunt in the first 5 innings is a joke. Let your guys swing the bat.  A coach telling his hitter to get his foot down before he swings is also ridiculous on many levels. First, it gives the hitter the impression that all he has to do to have success is get his foot down. Yes your foot has to come down before you swing, but it has become a phenomenon across amateur baseball to yell, "Get your foot down" I remember wanting to turn around to the parent or coach and yell back, "no shit!" Yelling get your foot down at a player is like telling him to put his helmet on and batting gloves before he goes up for his ab. Getting your foot down early actually makes it harder to hit in the GAME. In bp great, get your foot down works because tempo and location a very similar. However, in the game once both feet are down the eyes begin urging the body to swing the bat. While the front foot is in the air the eyes are in tracking mode. The longer you can stay in tracking mode the tougher it is on the pitcher.  If the pitcher is throwing 90mph or slower then front foot should not come off the ground until release point at the earliest, where most coaches make their players have their foot down by this point. Our eyes are very powerful muscles and they control the entire swing. Track the ball with your foot off the ground and relax, your eyes will tell your body when its time to swing. Rhythm, Timing and Style; find how your body moves in rhythm with the pitcher. Don't get confused with the different forms of foot down. Heal down is what coaches mean because there are hitters in the show that put their toe down and then their heal. Toe heal is an timing mechanism that I do not like because it creates issues if you begin the turn with the heal still in the air. Watch the MLB players below to see that each has their own tracking style but none have their heal down as early as it is taught at the amateur level.
