Q: What’s the biggest challenge that CJ Stewart faces as he works with both professional and amateur athletes?
A: Being willing to accept that learning how to be a productive hitter (or any aspect of the game) is a process, not a quick result.
In the past, players might visit a coach for a single 30- or 60-minute session, and expect their issues to be resolved. If the problems still occurred, they assumed there must be an issue with the coach. Today, most realize that that isn’t the case, and professionals like CJ Stewart are establishling expectations for training.
The industry doesn’t have formalized levels of expertise set up, like they do in golf. With baseball, many times people think they should just listen to CJ because he’s a former pro, but that’s not all there is to it.
CJ has studied the game, the players and his methodology. He works to help players understand the growth process and development, as well as steers them towards accurate expectations that will allow them to work hard and continue to grow as players.
