"Hitters who hit more, hit more."
I strongly disagree.
Some of the hardest workers I've coached under-perform (compared to the work they put in)
I was one of them.
It's the mental side.
- Anxious.
- Nervous.
- You care so much it works against you.
I remember shaking in the box because I wanted to be so good.
It wasn't fear of the competition.
I just cared too much
I didn't need more reps.
I needed to train winning.
I needed to focus on scoring runs.
I needed to stop thinking about ME and start thinking about scoring runs for MY TEAM.
When you shift your focus from yourself to YOUR TEAM, your energy transfers.
That's when the swing you worked your butt off, shows up.
