[Kennedy Hughes 2030 @KenHughes2030]

How do you slow the game down … (my at bats)? Easy my top three ways to slow the game down are my breathing patterns, my self talk, and my visualization all help me slow the game down. BE PRESENT WHERE YOU ARE, DONT let your mind be everywhere. Let the hands be loose like a jelly fish then when making contact with the ball let it be hard and fierce like a shark. Jellyyyyy SHARK. Talk to yourself, your self talk tackle box is your weapon do NOT let it be a weakness. I like to think of my visualization as movies and scenes. Movie while I’m watching and looking out, scenes while I’m thinking about what I’m going to do. Relaxation should feel good no tension in the body why? TENSION IS POISON. Synch up your breathing it helps you stay relaxed and all put together. Be athletic be free, flow with freedom. “ I learned at Michigan by watching the best players” - Tom Brady. Watch the big leagues, learn from them! Hitting with Arron Hank mirror talk. Mirror talk/work is so important and can show you how you need to adjust. Go find a mirror! Why rush the game? You’ve waited all day for the game now you want to go rush it, NO! Relax stay calm and enjoy the game. Interviews, easy be calm, use your hands, look at the camera/the people, be confident. Your tone and tempo is just as important as what you say. You’re gonna go train? Train at game speed, once you go hard use the reset button to calm down then get right back to work. Time for the weekend games, be ready, 2 for me 1 for my team. What’s better than clear? Crystal clear. Clear? Crystal. 10lb weight bat pumps, listen to the weight, bat pump.
How you oil your swing? Tee work. While bunting you want to get it in the perfect spot, catch a fish. All pitchers are hittable none are not hittable. Self talk isn’t just in the head you need to talk out loud and WHISPER! Have barrel awareness/ barrel control it keeps your proposition in good shape! Joey Votto talks hitting and how the big leaguers can place it anywhere they want. Looking and stance, feet first, knees next, arms, hands. Great lesson with @FeelGoodHitting once again!

Solid outing @jacksonphil16 💪! @inbullsbase @BrebeufBaseball @FeelGoodHitting

[Kennedy Hughes 2030 @KenHughes2030]

Had a lesson with @FeelGoodHitting!

What’s the number 1 thing you can give your swing? Trust it! That’s what you need to do when things aren’t going well, Open up your breathing first, Find if you have any tension first?, 1 point - iron bar - get to your iron bar, Prime your 1 point with your iron bar, 1 point, Power finish, We finish things - I’m a finisher, Leg lock - toe up- replace shoulder, gfr, loose, slow is smooth smooth is fast, slow=front of box, fast=back of box,adjust, proprioception, mirror work, 6th sense, TRUST, timing, R.S.M., R.S.O., eyes down, Glove oil, quick with the bat, toe up!!!

I felt good…😉🤙

[Peter Fadde @DrFadde]

Bryce Harper: "I felt good the last two days against Dominican [Republic] and Venezuela. My swing feels very good right now. I feel like my #PitchRecognition is pretty good right now, as well. Felt like I controlled the zone pretty well. Just timing." https://t.co/X31PhnssaG

[Feel Good Hitting @FeelGoodHitting]

@BaseballQuotes1 I’ll remember it! Happy for Bryce! He came through in a huge at bat! 😉👊 Congratulations to Venezuela! Thank you team USA for an amazing WBC!

Lucky 🍀 spending time with coachable hitters! Jackson Phillips @inbullsbase #baseball #classroom #breathe #believe

[Feel Good Hitting @FeelGoodHitting]

@TroyPSilva You don’t worry about hips until you begin the performance of the swing. The hips & hands cock as you move your lead foot to stride, the front knee turning in to help the hips rotate back. You are cocking your hips as you stride, it’s so important to get that
right -Ted Williams

Had a great lesson with @FeelGoodHitting on Saturday!!

Jump rope, hugs, flow with freedom ,Take advantage of outside the box stuff-Barrel feels,Look at barrel. Inside the barrel.
Why do we try to hit the ball up the middle? It keeps me right ,Get comfortable in your 1 leg.
Oh, 1 leg drill, knob to knee ,Show the Tape on shoe
Lead with the heel,45 degrees to a 45 degrees,Get ready early and showing tape,3 types of feedback, no feedback, delayed feedback, prompt feedback ,I’m getting good at prompt feedback,When you lead with your heel, your hips coil ,The last thing I say is the next thing I do ,Recorrect Fishbowl 50%,swing,Confidence it’s a choice. Talk right, hit right ,Oppo taco,Not enough, just right, too much

[The Hitting Vault @TheHittingVault]

Inside pitch? Tight Turns = Homeruns to left 😊 You can't hit an inside pitch by throwing your hands to it. The back elbow has to work closer to the body than if it were an outside pitch.

[Feel Good Hitting @FeelGoodHitting]

Her passion, her work ethic, and her attention to detail stand out every session, and the fact that she and her dad travel over an hour just to put in the work speaks volumes. Thank you Cam & Kennedy🙏❤️

[Kennedy Hughes 2030 @KenHughes2030]

Yesterday had another good lesson with @FeelGoodHitting

Good mechanics let you cover more pitches, stick the finish, focus on location of pitches, hit the ball in the middle, hitting the ball up the middle keeps me right, 1 rep at a time, the zone is my happy place, pinball, remind your eyes, use your process, you are mindset, self talk, coil the legs, see the ball, breath, bat pumps, flow, don't jump to the pitch, sit back and let it travel, I don't get cheated, hit through the ball.
