Mookie Betts - Contact Position Voiceover

- Drill to replicate this: Feel out where you WANT to be at contact. Barrel, hands and body. (not just bat, many forget this)

Get that feeling, now get ready for the pitch and try to time up that exact body and swing move on the ball.

Works pretty well!

It's like a.. compact swing slash drill, not a punch at it type swing. Hit a double.

If you want to MAKE plays, then don’t miss practice, workouts, extra reps, meals, film, etc. As Navy Seals say ”Under pressure you don’t rise to the occasion. You sink to the level of your training.” You don’t fall victim to pressure. You fall victim to your lack of preparation!

[Jake Loper @JakeLoper_30]

Congrats girls!

PARENTS: When you blame other things (officials, coaches, conditions, circumstances, teammates) for the situation your son or daughter is in, then you're essentially teaching your child how to be an excuse maker. Set the standard. Be the standard.

@CollinBrister I have completed it!
