maybe the elbow leading the hands is: just the elbow going forward while the hands drag.
think when you put on your uniform, "I am the best player on this team" and in this ballpark. Focus intensely in the moment on what you are doing pre-game. Make it happen. Decide early whether you are going to swing or not.

scap load

keep the scap load during the swing to keep the hands back. rotate from the back hip.

Thursday, April 22, 2010

be worried about not fucking up.

stay back, head still, get separation.
forget about your swing, just focus on the pitcher.

i need to learn how to pick up right handers release points

Saturday, April 17, 2010

think about rotating the hip on the ball of the femur.

Thursday, April 15, 2010

focus, intensity in the moment. build some anger over something and put it to work.

engrain what you are doing right now so you never forget it.

Its about the rear arm staying vertical and the bat rotating around it. The rear arm moves, it doesn’t just rotate the forearm, but the bat comes through flat and level.

Flat hands, and release barrel. Stay back on your back foot. Don’t jump out- rotate at the beginning/

Don’t cock the bathead

stay through the ball

flat hands like when you swing up.
Start your swing immediately. Stay through the ball.

Sunday, April 11, 2010

flat hands - start your swing without any movement- just go
take a pitch with no movement and get the release point

you HAVE to have an undying belief that YOU will get the job done and that great things will happen. At All Times.

not be addicted to nicotine is life goal #1

Monday, April 5, 2010

stay through the ball
this pitch, this moment
you are swinging every pitch!

Sunday, April 4, 2010

relentless chip on your shoulder
relentless desire to prepare
love the moment
not scared of the moment, or timid, hoping
love the moment- want the moment more than anything else

get on the plate. thats why you can't see the ball.
swing to take
time your swing with the pitcher's arm coming around
time the pitch with your rotation
load early
see the ball
-in your head, focus on seeing the ball and swinging early, not getting a hit. you should have no thoughts of getting a hit, just on seeing the ball early and getting the bathead out
- get the arms back when the rear hip fires.
bend in your legs. like an athlete
