when I first began working baseball many moons ago, I was fortunate enough to have a very good, very wise old veteran mentor me. One of the things he always stressed was a simple rule set in order to get better:

1) realize you will make mistakes
2) recognize and admit the mistakes you make
3) learn from those mistakes and strive to avoid them

making the excuses that his "head movement forward is just a natural physical action to responding" or the "coach was more wrong" or the "coach provoked it" is a failure of point #2 which prevents point #3.
