This summer my little guy started little league for the first year at 8 years old, so he was starting off much older and behind the rest of the kids on his team. To top it off, he is a lefty, so everything he watched the coach and his friends do was backwards to him! I kept meaning to work with him every evening, but time restraints and having never played baseball made it very difficult. So one day while he was at school I decided to two point his batting skills as he had been unable to hit the ball (to make things worse he is a golfer and a really good one at that, which goofed up his swing in baseball), so I two pointed him connecting him to past and present baseball players who I had coach him throughout the day before his practice. That night his father came to take him to practice, and low and behold he could suddenly hit the ball! At the time he had no idea that he had been two pointed!

What was even more exciting was that everyone on his teams skills also got noticeably better! I two pointed him a couple more times, and by his last game he was hitting the ball right over the top of the other teams outfielders! It was awesome!
I think now I will have to have him connect with some awesome pro golfers and have them coach his golf game! At the age of seven he was hitting holes in one... The kid is amazing at golf and absolutely loves the game! Especially loves the sand traps!
Just thought you would enjoy this little story, as you mentioned connecting to others for information!
