Refinement of mechanics comes later in the player’s development . The majority of the hitting world is trying to refine hitter’s swings when they really need to develop their foundation…
Their Mindset, Focus, & Approach at the plate.
How many more mechanical breakdowns do we need on social media for “content”…
Before we start fixing the mental breakdowns hitters are having in the box?
Focusing on the wrong breakdown.
Mindset sets your ceiling.
If your mental game breaks down under pressure, it doesn’t matter how pretty your swing is.
You will NEVER out-hit the limits of your mindset.
Hitting is a skillset — a set of MULTIPLE skills.
The SWING is ONE of those skills.
The more the hitting world obsesses over the swing, the
more hitters will struggle.
To be the best hitter possible you MUST train ALL skills within the skillset of hitting.
Any numbskull can train to increase exit velocity in 4 weeks or more!
Becoming a good hitter takes a minimum decade of consistent, high volume, and high quality work.
Most of you are already too late.
@FatherOf4Lunas What’s even crazier to me is, the origin of the idea itself. Most likely this wasn’t an “in the moment” thing, it was planned, possibly even discussed w/ teammates and all thought it was a good idea. The fact that it was actually executed is mind blowing.
A truly elite coach understands that no single method is best for everyone-the best approach is the one that helps the athlete maximize their potential.
