I’m happy to announce that I’ve committed to continuing playing baseball @HolyFamilyU!!!! I’d like to thank @CoachMorder and the rest of the Tiger Baseball staff for this great opportunity. #GoTigers
The best hitting coach I have ever had...
My mom.
She would talk to me after games.
Usually, after a bad performance at the plate
(which happened often. Lol.)
She would say she knew I wouldn't have a good AB even before I stepped into the box.
She said she could tell by the way I walked to the plate.
I didn't believe her at the time.
I would ask myself:
"How could the way I walk to the plate dictate how I hit?"
Well, the research is on her side.
It turns out your body language does play a role in performance.
Amy Cuddy is a renowned social psychologist.
Amy Cuddy's research on body language has shown how nonverbal cues can influence how others perceive us and how we perceive ourselves.
Her famous TED Talk:
"Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,"
Introduced the concept of "power poses."
Research showed these poses boosted confidence, increased testosterone levels, and reduced stress.
@JRudd_Scout If your kid can play up then by all means play ‘em up. Give ‘em the chance to play more competitive teams and they will rise to the level of competition thus making their game better overall. It’s a win/win.
