Baseball Batting Tricks: Putting Fear in the Corner
This baseball batting tricks “Hit-Bit”, or hitting tid-bit, is an answer to questions from my readers when I asked them, “If you could have a private conversation with me, what two questions would you ask?” The answers are meant to be short, actionable, and tips you can use today.
Today’s Hit-Bit answers the reader question:
“How do you remove fear out of a “scared” hitter? Peer vs Peer What exercises do you use in off a tee?”
We go over:
- Fear will always be there,
- Get comfortable with baby steps, and
- Drills for getting comfortable in the box…
#1, fear is always there, or else we’d all just walk in front of oncoming trains. We have to shrink fear down, and push it to the corner where it belongs.
#2, in order to do this, we have to equip hitters on how to deal with a particular “fear of”, that’s getting in the way of success.
#3, we’ll talk about baseball batting tricks and strategies young hitters should be practicing, then we’ll go into how to practice it in a safe environment. And most importantly, we’ll build the hitter’s self confidence by tweaking the practice to apply “the move” in a real game situation.
Make sure when the hitter practices “turning away” ONLY, they don’t take a shortcut by NOT striding (like me in the video). FYI, future Hit-Bit videos will between two to three minutes long.
