Aaron Judge was the best hitter in baseball last year.
He still had bad at bats.
Chases.
Strikeouts looking.
Whiffs on fastballs right down the middle.
The difference?
He doesn’t let one bad at-bat become two.
Elite hitters don’t avoid failure, they recover from it faster than everyone else.
Here are some tips that have worked for our hitters:
1️⃣ Reset Step out. Breathe. Slow the game down. One breath in. One breath out. Flush it.
2️⃣ Refocus Pick a focal point. The logo on your bat. The foul pole. Focus on it. Take a deep breath. Get back to the present.
3️⃣ Visualize See your best swing. Drive a double in to the gap in your mind. Everything happens twice. Once in your mind, once on the field.
4️⃣ Prepare Confidence isn’t magic. It’s built in practice. Trust your training.
5️⃣ Believe You have to believe you’re one swing away, because you are. Do the work. Have a system for when you aren’t feeling your best. Prepare relentlessly.
Baseball is a game of failure. The players who go the furthest aren’t the ones who never struggle. They’re the ones who bounce back the fastest.
