Former HS varsity softball batting coach. Still playing baseball to this day, and once upon a time I played men's fastpitch softball.

Then, when the season comes, go to that happy place before each at bat. It's works, but it takes practice #slumpproof

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

Visualize your best at bat from last season. See it, smell it, taste it, feel it, hear it. Do this over and over.Make it your happy place

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

The season is closer than u think. Start working on your swing. It takes 1500 reps to change a habit

Correction: PRE-alg students. Finding dims for circle as square with same area was interesting. Nice lead into discussion of square root

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

Had per-alg students create shapes with same area, such as a triangle and parallelogram. Matches tech practice with actual THINKING.

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

Visualize your best at bat from last season. Every day, all winter. Train your brain, next season starts now #wakeandrake

“@MikeLangan1: @MrTime9 Just kiking around a new thought process- I wanna see where it leads me.” Why is always me??

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

“@MikeLangan1: You ever notice how many "Hallmark" like quotes get retweeted? I touch the future- I teach.” Why so negative ??

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

“@MikeLangan1: @MrTime9 How about- "we tend not to."” Or it is painful to try to

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

“@MikeLangan1: We humans don't let any info in that we don't already agree with... If this were true nobody would ever change their mind

It's an honor to have the great @davidwees following me.David, I talk a lot of baseball,hitting here, but def connection btwn sport and Ed

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

@davidwees yup, best way I've come up with to convince 8th graders...

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

@davidwees A minivan can carry 7 passengers. How many groups of 0 people can fit in the van?

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

@Buster_ESPN Never seen a playoff team that needed just one guy to get a ringing base hit like the #Yankees

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

The little strike zone thing on the right side of the screen should be banned. The ump decides what's a strike, nothing else

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

If you still need a reason to work on your mental game, check the Yankees hitting stats this post season

[Mr. Swing @MrTime9]

Wow, ARod just lost up there. Lots of negative energy
