Stop drifting after you land.
A lot of hitters think they need to keep moving forward after foot plant to create power.
In reality, that forward drift often causes the barrel to work down through and under the ball.
Instead, rotate behind your contact point. Keep your head stable, create more space, and give the barrel a better path through the zone.
HEAD - down and back slightly OK✅
MOVING FORWARD AS YOU SWING❌
Train with an expert, not an influencer.
One word that changed everything for me?
"Muditā"
It means finding joy in others' success. Celebrating when your teammates, friends, and family win as if their victory is your own.

When I visit our Minor League clubs, I don't just jump right into coaching.
The first thing I do is listen and watch. I start "collecting coins."
"Collecting coins" is finding out about who the players really are. I want to learn about them.
Were there two parents in the house growing up? Just mom? Just dad? Any mentors? Did they love school or struggle with it? What do they like to do when they're not on the field? Movies? Books? How do they learn best?
Anyone can read a scouting report and tell you about their arm strength or speed.
But real trust starts building when you take the time to learn about who someone really is.
Here's what I've learned: nobody lets you coach them until they trust you.
And they won't trust you until they know you care about them as a person, not just what they can do on the field.
Make a difference today.
Love, Clint
HS Coaches: How can you have your varsity roster selected before tryouts? Also, players already know who's going on the spring trip?
In my opinion, if you run your team like this, people will lose respect for you as a coach & your program. Huge way to create an entitled & complacent environment. 🤷🏼♂️
This is what an elite championship approach feels like. Be more mentally exhausted than physically tired. Get the work in. Interesting that even though the Dodgers are labeled as a data driven team Doc doesn't even hint at that. You need an elite mind set
